An older but well maintained home in comfy, warm neighborhood. Easy access to San Diego State University. The space was exactly as listed. Myself and two other guests stayed for 5 nights, and we felt right at home.

Spacious home, very dated like photos show accurately, quiet and relaxed neighborhood and yard, suited our family well for a few days while we visited our daughter at SDSU. Rebeca was very responsive and took care of a concern we had right away.

It was a good price and clean. The threatening about the carpet was why it did not earn 5 stars.

Thank you for stay with us! You were a great guest and are welcome back. Unfortunately all guests are not a conscientious as you are. Thus, we make our expectations plain so we can keep the home to the standards that guests like you deserve. Nobody wants a gross carpet.

The house is what you would expect, but it just smells. The whole house had a funk the entire time and if we had any other places to stay we would have canceled and moved. There were smell removers all over the house and an ozone maker to try and dampen the smell but it hits you as soon as you walk in. We were told we could not walk in the house with shoes. The cooking utensils are all plastic and melted and not very usable for cooking. I would not stay here again.
