Quiet clean stand alone house was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the private patio in back. Mattress was comfortable. The off street parking was great because parking on the street was tough to come by. Great places for breakfast and dinner were within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.
Fabulous location! Very walkable and safe feeling neighborhood, close to shops and restaurants. Quiet location, set back from the street with helpful designated parking spot. Enjoyable outdoor space and comfortable bed & furnishings made the extended stay a true delight!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. This place was just like the listing in the pictures. The neighborhood is lively and the car port was very necessary. Debbie, the manager was very friendly and easy to get a hold off.
Comfy bed, great blackout blinds, dark and cool bedroom. Smart tv and comfy couch for relaxing, and a really good shower too. Loved the little cookie shop around the corner and visited several great coffee shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. It was an ideal place to rest, eat and sleep after our busy days out and about in San Diego.
I loved my stay. Absolutely beautiful and so well appointed. Easy to walk to lots c of fun places and great location to drive to any place you might want to visit while in San Diego
The house was clean. The bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, I very rarely heard any outside noise during the night. It's in a great location too, there are many good restaurants and coffee shops within a 15 minute walking radius.
Not too far from gaslamp. Very close to local bars and restaurants.

House in looks and condition, was as shown! Such a wonderful and inviting place to walk into. Loved the space from the inside to the outside seating area. Fully appreciated the 1 parking space. The location is unmatched. Down the block from the event I was going to as well as so many restaurants and bars.
We loved this retreat! It felt so comfortable and welcoming from the moment we opened the door. It is nicely decorated and VERY clean! Nice location to walk to a variety or restaurants, bars and the best ice cream ever - all located on Adams Ave. Easy to Uber to all the fun places in San Diego.
This property is as pictured and is very charming. It is also very well stocked and has everything you might need if staying as a couple or as a family. Shops and restaurants are less than a block away and the freeway access is very close. It’s easy to get to Mission Valley for shopping, Balboa Park, or the beaches. Would definitely stay here again.
Perfect space for a small family. The fact that it already had a pack n play and a high chair was a HUGE advantage since we flew down to San Diego trying to be as minimal as possible. Down the street from multiple local restaurants/bars/stores. San Diego is definitely a car destination, so I felt this location was perfect because anywhere we needed to go was typically only 10 mins away. Deborah was very responsive, and pleasant to work with
I'm a mom... stayed here with my 22 year old daughter while we visited family in Normal Heights. This sweet little house is tucked behind a slightly larger house in a neighborhood at the center of San Diego. It has a small back patio that's nice for morning coffee and backyard grilling. The kitchen provides the basics and it has full sized appliances. My daughter planned to sleep on the living room sofa, which is very attractive, but she found the faux leather surface to be not to her liking, so she slept with me. The bed was plenty big and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!
