Great getaway

The property itself is very well-maintained and extremely clean. Michael is a very attentive and responsive host. The backyard is very quaint and has a tremendous view. Perfect for a getaway weekend or longer. The houses within 15 minutes of most major attractions so it is very convenient. Overall, a tremendous stay!

Navy Homecoming

We stayed at this property while in town to welcome my husband’s ship back from their 7 month deployment. The property was clean, well stocked, and exactly as it appears in the photographs. The property manager replied to my few questions immediately. The location of the property can’t be beat - it is convenient to everything!

Trip To San Diego

A few friends and I spent a few days in San Diego and knew we would be doing a lot of things in downtown. The location was great and easy for Ride Share access as well as places to grab some coffee or breakfast before heading out for the day. Would definitely stay again.

Nice clean property and perfect location

The house was very clean and super organized. Many great items and way to many to list but here are a few. Large washer & dryer, large Brita, several TV apps, a lot of towels, coffee pods, tea bags, utensils, cleaning supplies.... The backyard was cute and cozy. Wish we were there a few more days to use the BBQ. The location was ideal minutes from the Gas Lamp, Little Italy, and the Coronado bridge, Our drive to Mission Beach was only 10 mins away. The house is located on a hill. Parking was good The host Michael responds back fast. Had a few simple questions nothing major.

Nice property, great location

This house was comfortable and well stocked. It's located on a very steep street and parking was occasionally a challenge. However, it didn't pose a problem to our group. The three bedrooms gave us space to spread out and the host was very responsive. Easy access to the zoo, Balboa Park, and Coronado Beach.

Peaceful Getaway

The property was very spacious despite being a small home. We loved the patio and it was very relaxing. Parking was a little difficult because it is on a steep hill, but you will get a workout in if you decide to park in the surrounding neighborhood and not on the hill. The house was nicely stocked with toiletries, towels, blankets, pillows, etc. Beds were comfortable. My family enjoyed this property and will consider it again if we decide to return to San Diego.

Well-stocked, walkable neighborhood

This was truly a very beautiful property for our group of two couples, a toddler and two dogs. The outdoor patio is lovely and this was one of the most well-stocked rentals- from linens to toiletries to laundry access. Golden Hill was central to our needs. It is a very steep hill, which stretched our leg muscles but many conveniences were within a 15-20 minute walk, including grocery, coffee (less than 5 minutes away!), a panaderia, liquor, and some local restaurants. The property owner communicates very quickly and is good at having a discussion with any questions that may arise.

Great spot! Only stayed here for one night but it was well worth it!

Bang for your buck for sure! Can be quaint for a big group but we had fun nonetheless. So many bedding options. Everything is stocked well. Right by the city. So many places you can go nearby. Can’t find a better deal than this one.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Tighe

I have been living in San Diego since moving here for the Navy back in 2006 and I absolutely love it! I thoroughly enjoy being an AirBnb Host and I'll do everything in my power to make sure your stay is as amazing as possible.

Feel free to message me with any specific questions!

By day I work as an Air Traffic Controller. I love Scuba Diving, Hiking, & Flying (small planes).

I'm a well traveled AirBnb guest, and I try to learn from the mistakes of other hosts to ensure I'm not committing them as well.

My favorite countries visited: Indonesia, Thailand, & Croatia.
