Everything with the apt was great. The only complication that we experienced was parking, which is a normal occurrence in residential SD. It is just something to be aware of when renting/visiting in SD.

Perfect rental is central San Diego!

Very cute and clean 1bd/1ba in North Park neighborhood in SD, unit is two stories but I loved the seperate space. I lived in this area for years so it’s near to my heart and this location won’t disappoint. Walking distance to tons of shops and restaurants. Cozy spot nestled in a safe neighborhood, all the necessary amenities including a quiet private patio space and free laundry! Parking can be tough but that’s most of SD! Mike was quick to respond, would recommend for single travelers or small families, also pet friendly! Would definitely stay again.

The home is in a perfect location with easy access to everything. The only drawback was that the patio wasn’t fully private, which I would have loved for my doggies — but they still had an amazing time! The home itself was beautiful, the neighborhood was quiet, and the overall atmosphere made me feel very comfortable and welcomed.

Pro: Vibrant location with lots of shopping/restaurants in walking distance. Comfortable bed. Good water pressure on the rain shower.Cons: Hard to find parking and entry gate was always unlocked so not very secure. Not very clean: dirty frig, range top and other areas not well cleaned. Burned out bulbs and missing lighting fixture shades. TV worked in the AM but poor internet made watching any TV in the evening not possible. They did not have central air as described but a wall unit at the top of the stairs. Entry way not private with another unit and owner storage filling the space - no grill as described and not well maintained. Listing pictures did not match the reality of the exterior or interior and the bath/bed are up stairs which was not well depicted. Over all needs some cleaning and TLC. In the many years staying in SD, our least favorite property.
Entry gate that was never locked.
Not private w/another unit and a lot of owner storage.
No grill and overall dirty and not well maintained.
Bed/bath upstairs which was not well depicted. Also wall unit AC, not central air

We have been renting through VRBO for years and never had any bad experiences. This unit was terrible..unit had terrible odor which gave us headaches. Doors had locks but did not feel safe. Laundry is in a back alleyway..Spoke with owner who was not very helpful…kept sending me to rental agency. Finally was able to get credit (50% only). Would not recommend staying here. Not sure why VRBO lists this unit.

This property is more affordable than most SD rentals. It has an upstairs bedroom with a queen size bed and a living room sofa which could accommodate another person. The unit is clean and has basic kitchen appliances, tv, internet, and bathroom shower. Neighborhood is mostly residential but is walkable to stores, restaurants, a park.

This unit is clean and well located. Parking in the area is a challenge at best. Nice coffee shop is in building next door and there are many restaurants, coffee shops and bars nearby. Freeway close.

Home away from home

The property was great in a great location very conveniently located by all the highways. Great location right near the grocery store so that when we needed anything that we had to have for cooking it was conveniently placed. The host had everything a person would need and a home to be away from their own home and this will probably be the place that I stay each time that I come. My wife and I were very pleased and we're nearly close to asking him if we could book another day yet. We had to come home to be back in reality.

Do not rent this property

Not at all as advertised. This is an added on apartment to a home. The unfinished counter in kitchen, causes your knees to abutt the open back of oven. Different furniture from picture. No wash/shower soaps, no coffee. Absolutely NO parking. We continuously had to park 10 to 15 minutes away. This property is a joke!

Pet friendly, but not people friendly.

Despite the great reviews I read before booking this property, unfortunately, my personal experience with the owner was not so nice. It started out ok, but I apparently asked too many questions.. he became rude asking if I am "slow or something" tells me I'm the most annoying person he has rented to asked my 13 year old daughter and I to leave( we ended up staying, but it was highly uncomfortable for the rest of our trip.) He actually excused his poor behavior with "I'm Norwegian, that's how we are" 🙄👎
