Great location. Easy on off highways. Walked to petco easy and nice. Minutes from Balboa. 7 people stayed and everyone was comfortable. Hot water for showers was good. Gas for grill was good. Garage access via secure private pass through was a nice perk too.

Nice property. Worked well for a few of us in town for a convention. Short walk. I would say be careful which streets you walk back later on at night as some in the area are a little sketchy.

Great place to lay our heads in San Diego, we appreciated the many bedrooms and bathrooms. Home was very clean and comfortable. Living room seating is in need of a refresh but did not bother our group much. TV was huge and good for group viewings. Be aware of the neighborhood you are booking in, we had no issue but it is downtown so you need to keep your head on a swivel when walking! Overall, great!

Conference stay with coworkers

We stayed at James’s condo while in town for a conference. It was four females coworkers and his place perfectly accommodated all of us with 4 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms on different floors so we could spread out. He even has 3 brand new sets of washers and dryers. 2 in the garage and one on the top floor. We arrived early and he was able to accommodate getting us in early and was super responsive. The place was clean and spacious. I would definitely stay here again! Only negative comment is that there are a lot of homeless one block away but that tends to be the norm in San Diego these days.
