AC worked great! The bed was the comfiest bed out of our various other places we stayed at. Host was clear and helpful. The shower is great, plenty of games to play :) Also was so easy to access everything we wanted to do in San Diego! As well as a beautiful view of the sunset!

The Vrbo we stayed in was perfect! It was so close to all of the attractions we were hoping to see in San Diego and gave us a comfortable home away from home. The room was super clean, in a quiet neighborhood, and was super cute! I appreciated the small stove, air fryer, and washer and dryer. Also that bed - omg so comfortable! I slept so well!The host was also super friendly and helped me figure out a payment complication ahead of time. I appreciate their prompt and helpful conversation. This Vrbo provided a 10/10 experience and I would book again!

The bed was super comfortable and the AC worked beautifully. Everything we wanted to do was only 10 minutes away so the location was perfect as well. And it came with parking which is always great!

Property is centrally located. But the actual neighborhood is not great. No coffee shops you can walk to or that sort of thing. Bars in the windows of most surrounding properties. But I didn’t feel unsafe. Unit is small but attractive and fairly well appointed. There’s a good-sized closet with hangers, which was appreciated. But no drawers or shelves to store non-hanging clothes. Something cheap from IKEA or a thrift store would make it possible to unpack a suitcase and put things away. Patio was private but not very inviting. Condensation from the air conditioner kept the outdoor carpet wet throughout our visit. Overall a very reasonably priced and central property. But a little small for two people and a dog to be comfortable for more than a day or two.

This was a basic accommodation and a good value for the price. There were many thoughtful touches such as a cooler and chairs to use on the beach if you wished. There was some confusion about entry, but it was resolved quickly. If you rent this space, watch for a step just before the entry onto the patio.

The location itself is great, you’re in close proximity to the freeway and the more eventful parts of San Diego and parking was easy to come by.If you a light sleeper, this place might not be ideal. I woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of someone in the adjacent rental doing laundry and the laundry machine was close enough to the shared wall to where you could hear it rattle. There was also an incident where someone renting the adjacent unit tried opening the door to the unit I was occupying while I was inside, which I didn’t appreciate. Hopefully better communications will be provided to future guests about the areas of access that are included in the respective rental spaces. Some other reviews have mentioned a dog smell. There is definitely a present dog smell in the outdoor area right outside the unit door, but was not a big deal to me since I did not spend time in the outdoor space. TLDR: great location with amenities, not for light sleepers or people that don’t like dog smell.

We were disappointed with our visit. While the photos make the patio look clean, on our arrival the smell of dog urine was significant and dog feces were present along the very narrow walkway between the gate and the back patio at close-to face level due to the high wall on the left as you approach. Cleanliness was the first issue. The refrigerator was also not working properly and we found the cookware not satisfactory for more than one person (i.e., only a single very small skillet). We ended up using the freezer space in the fridge as refrigeration space as it wasn't freezing (ice trays remained water only) but was enough to slightly cool our drinks. The bathroom only had one washcloth for us and there was corrosion around the bathroom sink faucet. The hot side is very hot, so be careful there if you stay. We found the air conditioning worked well enough for us to sleep some, though on arrival the room was very stuffy and it took quite a while for the cooling to kick in. We found no way to control the patio lights, it must be on the neighbor side. On the more positive side, the bed - which seems like a foldout -- turned out to be more comfortable than we expected upon seeing it. The room stayed quiet with the door and window closed. The manager was friendly and engaged, but couldn't really help us because we just stayed one night, in late-ish and out early. We were most grateful for the laundry, which worked well with the supplies provided.

Clean Space. Super easy check-in. A little pet smell on the patio, but I have dogs so it wasn't really offensive. Would stay again
