Small house was perfect for two adult couples. Kitchen had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The private backyard was a bonus for hanging out. Parking could be difficult at times as others have noted.

Thank you so much, we are so glad the home had everything you needed!
Place was perfect for our needs. Location was good. Parking could be challenging but we always found a spot thanks to our spirit world! The unhoused are around but we are urban pioneers from Chicago so we get it. The weather really is UFB!! Get why you’d want to live there but cost of living is crazy. Thanks for everything! Well stocked place! Oh and coffee very nice touch!!!

Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear everything else about your stay was positive. We understand parking can be challenging at times, especially during busier periods, and appreciate you sharing your experience for future guests.
The location of the house. Was a hop,skip and a jump to everything. The host included suggestions,for touring and eating. We followed quite a few of them and they were not dissappointing.

Great Place
The house was nice and clean and spacious. It's also not far away from downtown San Diego. The parking situation wasn't the best but I always managed to find a space at the end of the night.
This house was very pleasant, clean, and comfortable. It had all the amenities that made it feel like home away from home, especially with small kids. It was centrally located in San Diego, and walkable to downtown and public transit lines. The neighborhood was cute and felt safe, although there is a homeless population a few blocks away, but that’s the unfortunate reality of our cities and nothing to do with the house or the hosts.

Thanks so much! Glad you felt at home and enjoyed the location—it was a pleasure hosting your family.
This house was just perfect for our San Diego vacation. It's a short distance from the airport and many great attractions. The house was well equipped with amenities. I was able to cook dinner twice to save money on meals. At times it was difficult to find a parking spot nearby. The photoshopped images of the back yard were deceiving. The city skyscrapers, highway noise, and heat pump sound made it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. But, overall, it's a great rental.

Mostly. The only thing I will mention is one of the floor tiles in the bathroom was loose. Your maintenance people may want to take a look before it becomes a problem. The tile is just in front of the toilet. This is not a complaint just an observation for your assistance. Great stay.

Thanks so much for the heads-up—we’ll have our team take a look at that tile right away. Glad you had a great stay!
Absolutely wonderful place to stay - I was sad to leave! Comfortable, quiet, private, and near everything. We loved everything about the place! They care for every little detail, including things I didn’t expect, like leaving laundry detergent for us, a HUGE washing machine, beach towels, a cooler to borrow, and an ice pack in the freezer. We didn’t travel with littles, but they had just about everything you need for little ones, including a high chair and pack-n-play. Absolutely charming backyard with tables/chairs and pretty landscaping! The only very minor drawback is parking - as you may - or may not - get a spot near the house. Luckily for us, we only had to park a few blocks away for one evening. The rest of the time we were able to park very near the house. But honestly I didn’t mind the distance to park as it’s a nice neighborhood to walk through. I would highly recommend and will hope to stay here again should I find myself back in San Diego.

A gem near downtown
A beautiful, comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood a quick walk or ride share to the Gaslamp and Petco. Nicely stocked, updated kitchen and bathrooms. Will stay here again.
A spacious, clean property that was quiet at night. Comfortable bed. Close to downtown and Coronado Island. We were very happy with it. The only challenge was parking, which is the same everywhere in San Diego.
