Host was very nice and accommodating. The home was perfect for our need. My mother in law uses a walker which was very easy for her to get around the house. Another big plus which may not seem to matter to most but she had soft toilet paper and nice thick paper towels unlike the dozens of other VRBO’s we have stayed in. Not to mention the wonderful fireplace. We loved our stay!! Thank you The Reed family of Tampa!
This house was a perfect place for our weeklong visit to San Diego with our grandson. The neighborhood is charming, very walkable and friendly. The house provided all we needed and we would definitely stay there again.
The property is as described and photographed. Very cute and very well stocked. Comfortable beds! Quiet adorable neighborhood. Walkable to many restaurants. We would stay here again.
Was super clean, beds were comfy, host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We will definitely stay there again. Was surprisingly close to Old Towne and convenient to get anywhere really. Parking was not a concern at all. Seemed to be plenty of spots at any time.
We loved our stay here. The house was exactly as described and was cute, clean and comfortable. There is plenty of parking on the street (huge for a vacation rental in San Diego). There is a cute little group of shops close by. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. We’d definitely stay here again.
This was an amazing stay!! We truly fell in love with the house and the area, it is in such a charming, quiet neighborhood. The house had everything we needed and more. I would definitely recommend and hope to come back!!
I came here for a quick trip with my family and we were blown away by the location and how cute the house was. It's super spacious and the photos were accurate. We really appreciate the host going the extra mile getting us checked in. The home had everything we needed and had so much character. I 100% recommend!
We had a wonderful stay. This was our first trip to San Diego and we were not familiar with the city geography. Mission Hills is the jackpot for being close to everything! The house has everything and you can feel the care that went into every touch!
We stayed for 3 nights and very much enjoyed both the home and the Mission Hills neighborhood. Many lovely CA and Craftsman bungalows, great home landscaping, easy access to coffee shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.
Great location within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and bars. Very nicely decorated with well appointed features.
