It was everything and more, the host was super polite and everything was clean. The hot tub was to die for and I probably got the best sleep I did in a while!! Will come back again

Thank you Sofia for being an amazing guest ! You are more than welcome to come back again !
The pictures don't do this charming property justice. It is lovely and clean, and includes fun extras like a waterfall shower and heated bathroom floor. Perfect for a short visit to see UCSD and dear friends in San Marcos.

Super lovey guests that was a pleasure to host . Welcome back anytime . Highest recommendations. Smooth communication. Left my casita in an immaculate condition . Dream guests !
I needed to be in downtown San Diego for business. I need a very quite and peaceful place to stay for 10 nights. This place as fantastic for my needs and close to great dining options. The only negative which really isn’t even a big deal is there was no TV which just made me enjoy the fire pit and jacuzzi.
