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.

Hosts were great and responsive. The house was perfect for what we needed. Within reasonable walking distance of convention center. Would certainly stay there again in the future.

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.

Convenient location - perfect for 4 people
The neighborhood isn't the greatest but we loved the short walk to Petco Park. The house had everything we needed for our family (2 adults + 2 teenagers). Might be difficult to sleep more people than that but plenty of room otherwise. Kitchen was well-stocked with cups, plates and silverware and having two bathrooms was very convenient. Nice to have the little patio in back to enjoy coffee in the morning. Can't imagine a better place to stay if you have a group of 4 and want to get to/from the ballpark or other nearby areas.
We booked to use as a hub for college visits with our teenagers. The home was centrally located to everything and all of the colleges and we got to give the kids a taste of many parts of San Diego!The home was clean and well maintained and had all the basic amenities we needed!

Great place for two couples to stay. Close to many eateries within less than a mile. Easy walking distance to Petco Park. Highly recommend The Mission on J street for a unique breakfast or lunch. Thanks for the corn hole game and snacks.
