Very nice property, comfortable and as advertised! The guest house is close to downtown and the adjoining freeways. Easy to get around! Would recommend this property.
Great place to stay. You get a very helpful list of instructions before your stay. The host is quick to respond to questions. Just know that street parking can be a bit challenging. Close to the zoo and Balboa park. Ii highly recommend this place.
Excellent property .... well maintained, clean and well appointed. Close to attractions, restaurants, beaches and the Naval Base. Many items within walking distance. Quiet neighborhood. An excellent value. Will stay here again when in San Diego. John, the Host, was attentive, responsive and extremely helpful.
Easy parking and very close to everything we needed. Close to attractions, parks, eateries, and grocery stores. The host was responsive and helpful. I would stay here again!
Very nice, very clean, very secure. Check in and check out were very easy! Great communication with John, too. This is close to EVERYTHING. Definitely recommend!
John was helpful and full of relevant information from the beginning when I made the reservation. Even though the weather was bad, it was a joy for the three of us to stay at his accommodation.

We enjoyed our stay in the guest house. We just found the parking a hassle because the lot didn't have its own parking lot. John is really kind and communicated well with me and provided us what we needed.

This was a very fun place to stay! It was super nice and clean. The owners/managers are amazing! They communicated very well and I would highly recommend this home.
John was amazing. The property is stunning and I would recommend it to anyone traveling to San Diego. Centrally located to downtown, Coronado Island, and multiple parks. Very clean and off the road so very quiet at night.
It's a gem. The property is gated, which is a good thing in the area. The location is awesome and convenient access to freeway and all sites and beaches. Very well kept. Enjoyed our stay.
My family and I were in San Diego to witness my grandson graduating from the Marine’s boot camp. Our experience was absolutely perfect. This property is so cute, immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable, The owners stayed in contact with us via email making sure we were comfortable and to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!!
The house is very clean, it is small but has everything you need, aud it is very centrally located making all of the San Diego attractions minutes away. Parking was not a problem. Our only suggestion is improve the mattresses.
This small guest house was ideal for our 12 day vacation in San Diego. Location was perfect for us to walk to seaport village and gaslamp. We even walked to little Italy and balboa park. Otherwise Ubers were quick and reasonably priced for the short distance. The guest house was a private getaway with kitchen set up so that we cooked breakfast every day. We would stay here again and highly recommend it for 3-4 people.
The instructions that were issued 3 days before the stay were definite and well defined. It got very hot and warm inside. I wish the bath mat was of non slip kind rather than move each time when you stepped on it.

About the host
Hosted by John Reardon
I grew up in Northampton Massachusetts, a town with countless beautiful old homes and lots of woods. I spent countless days in my youth building tree forts never knowing that those 2 dynamics would intersect at this point. Upon arriving in San Diego with an interest in building and purchasing real estate, I became immediately interested in the largely neglected Victorian buildings in this area of town. This property became a labor of love for me many years ago and I hope that legacy will be carried forward by my 3 sons. My wife if Japanese, so our family often divides our time between 2 very different worlds, both with much to offer.
Why they chose this property
It is our hope that our guests will appreciate the attention to detail and uniqueness of design that has been incorporated into every aspect of this property.
What makes this property unique
This property is strategically located close to most of San Diego's most popular destinations. It's central location and proximity to a newly revitalized downtown, airport, beaches and parks affords our guests the best possible experience while visiting San Diego.
