Great location, nicely updated, smaller, but had all the amenities necessary for our family. I loved the little table on the balcony to have coffee in the morning and take advantage of the sea . Super close to Balboa Park. And everything you wanna see in San Diego. The property manager was very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay.

This VRBO was an excellent find! It is very close to the SD Zoo and Balboa Park, and it was an easy drive to many SD beaches, La Jolla, LIttle Italy - really anywhere you might want to visit in SD. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen was clean and stocked sufficiently; and the living room area was comfortable. There's also a dedicated parking space, which was an added bonus!! We had a few questions for the host, and we received replies nearly instantly. It was very easy to communicate. Stellar VRBO all around.
