Parking was easy, check in/out was organized and easy, the accommodations were top notch, and the host was responsive and pleasant! The lodgings ARE in the flight path of San Diego airport, so you will see very low flying planes from several airlines, but we thought that was cool and sat on the patio in the evenings watching them roll in. I would definitely stay here again!
Great location for proximity to SD activities and little Italy. Directly under the flight path, so expect noise, but ear plugs provided which helped! Pet friendly and for that reason especially, we would definitely book again. Responsive property manager. Be aware of stairs leading to entrance, which may not be accessible for all. Overall, great stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this home in San Diego. It was close to everything we wanted to see. The owner gave us suggestions on where to eat, things to do and places to buy groceries. I would definitely stay here again if we are ever in San Diego.
Property and amenities exceeded our expectations. When we had a question, the host responded right away! Would stay here the next time we are in town. Short walk to tons of great restaurants and bars.
Great house as advertised. Location was perfect. Safe neighborhood, walking distance to little Italy, interstate access close by. Easy check in and check out process. Host very responsive. House clean, beds comfortable, large master bath. Excellent stay.
Was a nice space. Is very near the airport and has applicable noise. There is an upstairs owned by someone else. Also, a few stairs to get to the property.
Fantastic place! It is our second time here. Plenty of room to spread out. Comfy beds. Living room is separated from the bedrooms so you do not need to worry about talking too loud in the morning for those that are still sleeping. Backyard is a big bonus for this area. Location couldn’t be easier to get everywhere near downtown.
We had a wonderful stay. We stayed with older kids and there was still plenty of room, everything was clean and well stocked, and great communication with our host. Thank you for a great experience!
This was perfect for a guys weekend away. Quick walk to Ballast Point or anywhere else in little Italy.
