Great stay for a family trip

We were visiting San Diego with our two small children and senior dog for spring break. LOCATION: The house is in a great location - close to so many attractions (the zoo, pier, gaslamp, Petco Park, etc) but also on a nice quiet street, so it still feels like you're tucked away from the noise. There is a small playground at the end of the block, which was a nice added bonus for us with our two little ones!! HOST - Steve was awesome. Warm, personable, and super helpful. We encountered a few minor issues with the house, but Steve was able to help immediately. I will say, we didn't get any pre-communication about check-in, etc, even though we booked about a month before arriving, but all was well once we arrived. HOUSE - The house is ALMOST exactly as pictured. When we booked, the pictures showed carpet in the bedrooms, but they both had hardwood when we arrived. Not a huge deal, but if that's important to you, it's of note. As some other reviewers noted - there are no dressers to store away clothes and items you can't hang - just something to keep in mind.AMENITIES - The house was pretty clean and well-stocked. Lots of towels and supplies were easily accessible. The water heat, and pressure were fantastic! Great for anyone who loves a good hot shower! We had a great, relaxing stay and will definitely consider staying here again the next time we come to town!

Saved my stay in San Diego!

Steven was able to rent out his space last minute after another VRBO cancelled on me. Great location and an excellent space from which to launch daily excursions in the downtown/Balboa Park area. The layout was perfect and the place was clean and all appliances working. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

Great option for SD visit

It was so great to be in this guest house as opposed to a hotel! Paid extra to park off the street which was wonderful since street parking is limited. Liked that the property was gated and quiet. Easy highway access made it a convenient location. Air conditioning was nice to have. The owner was friendly and very helpful. We were very comfortable and would stay again.

Cute and clean

The house was very nice and clean. It could’ve been a little better stocked ie: coffee, bath soap. The smart lock was an issue every time we came back. Plan on using Uber/lift especially at night due to the homeless people camping on the sidewalks.

SDSU Move-In

We stayed at this property for my son's SDSU move-in weekend. The property was very clean and Steve was super accommodating. The house appeared to be having some renovations done (cut outs in ceiling) and there was ongoing yard work outside. I assume all were for the betterment/improvement of an already nice property. On-site parking is "tricky" but if you're a good driver, you can pull it off :). This is a great stay if you want to be close to downtown and everything the city has to offer.

Excellent location!

Walking about a mile to dinner every night was a treat, especially in that San Diego weather. The house was 5 minutes from our ZipCar spot (highly recommend taking that route rather than deal with parking). Steve was very communicative and welcoming, also handled an issue in a timely manner. There weren’t any dressers in the bedrooms, so unpacking never really happened which isn’t ideal for a week-long stay. Tons of closet space in the master bedroom. I’d also suggest having a welcome book that details the air conditioning and TV, and any other “need to know” items.

Top Notch

This place is more than advertised. It is larger than you think and great space for a family of 4. The location can’t be beat. The property owner is great and super friendly. It is definitely worth paying extra for parking if you have a car. If you doby there are some great options to get around. Definitely recommend the circuit electric carts.
