Amazing Property
The house was amazing. From the views, amenities, cleanliness and accessibility. We were traveling with elderly grandparents and the 1st floor apartment was perfect. The second floor was a great space and we were pleasantly surprised to find a dart board and foosball table. The house was fully stocked with kitchen appliances, cookware and dishes. The pantry was stocked with a wide variety of spices and other essentials. We also appreciated the welcome snacks, San Pelligrino and bottle of sparkling wine to welcome us. Highly recommend this property and would gladly stay there again if we come back to San Diego.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
The best bit about this property is its location and incredible views. We sat and watched the harbor for hours. We ubered everywhere and found great restaurants nearby. Reading others reviews I think we just had a rough deal with our time there. The patio was not put together, the Sun shade was frayed through and on the floor. The explanation was that it had been windy. Maybe the property manager, knowing that should have swung by to check on everything before we got there. The hot tub was not clean, there was a layer of dust on the kitchen island and one of the doors hinges was broken so that it did not close properly allowing quite a bit of air traffic noise in. For the price and being marketed as a “luxury” rental we just expected something a little more high end. Maybe a shade/screen by the hot tub to screen from the neighbors would be good.

Perfect stay in sunny San Diego
This property was a huge hit with all four of our adult children and ourselves. GREAT location. GREAT view. Everyone had their own room and declared the beds super comfy. I appreciated the master bedroom jetted tub after walking all day. A quick Uber to everywhere because the location was so ideal. Highly recommend this property.

Great Place
Loved this house for our girls' trip! It's beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained. My only dislike was the loud airplane noise from the nearby airport, but any house in this area will have that. The noise definitely made it harder to sleep, and woke us up around 6-6:30am when planes start taking off for the day. But once again that comes with the territory when staying in this area. Otherwise, the house was perfect and a great value compared to other rentals in San Diego!

Perfect for a group
House was clean and convenient to downtown and surrounding areas. The place is perfect for groups of adults who would like to have their own bedrooms to sleep in. Stayed with 6 adults for a golf trip and could not have been happier. Hot tub and parking with garage were huge plus!

Rental with an Airport View
I don’t remember the Urban Airport location being mentioned but it would be good to know about in advance. I still give the property 5 stars because it is a great house, very well equipped and very well managed! While watching the planes take off and land provided endless entertainment it can be quite loud at around 6:15 AM when flights get going!

`Fabulous
What a wonderful place for me and my extended family to stay during my son's wedding! We rented both the top and bottom unit and had plenty of room for the 10 of us. The views of the city lights and airplanes landing were mesmerizing. The place was well-equipped in both kitchens and there were plenty of extras (towels, laundry soap, etc.) It was nice to have access to the garage. However, while it claims to have 5 parking spaces (2 in the garage and 3 in the driveway), due to the slope, it was more practical to park 3 cars (one in the garage and 2 in the driveway). That being said, if needed, the side street seemed to have extra parking available. If we every need to return with a large number of people, I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and views
My family wanted to hit the Zoo and Sea World and this house was in the perfect location for what we wanted to do. In addition to those attractions, you're also so close to so many great food options. I loved the views overlooking the airport and the water. Great sunsets and views in the evening. Since you're right by the airport you do get aircraft noise outside and we slept w/ white noise. If / when I am back in SD, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This place was ideal for our group. Having 2 condos connected allowed people to have their own private time. The view from the deck is beautiful and we enjoyed hanging out there. The place was also walking distance to little Italy which had a farmers market on Saturday. Each room had an AC unit and the rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. We will definitely be back.

We take a girls trip every year somewhere different. We stayed in your lovely house this year and it worked out very well for us. There are 8 of us and having the upstairs and downstairs was perfect. We were a little nervous about the airport being so close but it was fun to watch the planes land. The location was very centrally located to what we wanted to do.
