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.

Guest house in San Diego

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.

Perfect Guesthouse

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 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.

The parking isn't very convenient for someone who is in a wheelchair. We loved the house but again had to leave her wheelchair outside as well as our shoes(which isn't a problem) We felt safe due to needing a code to get into the property. Tje water gets very hot so be careful letting littles play in the tub. We loved havimg the hot water because most places don't usually have good hot water. The beds were very comfortable.

Quick visit on our way to Hawaii

Accommodation was exactly want we were had in mind for our short stay. Clean and equipped as stated. One small thing, the front bedroom was very hard to get around the foot of the bed. I hit my knee on it, so i remedy that problem by putting a pool noodle around it, worked great.

Great space, even though downtown isn't great

Great space and gave us a short drive to many great places. Plus having a space for our kids was great too. The owners were easy to communicate with and got back to us quickly. We even walked to Petco Park, even though the downtown walk was a little long and had some issues.

About the host

Hosted by John Reardon

Host profile image
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.
