Beautiful rental in a great location. Everything is exactly as pictured, and the kitchen is well stocked. Loved having a washer/dryer in the unit. Neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Very clean. Well decorated and light. Top quality. Comfortable king bed and nice couch in main room. Perfect for one couple. Would definitely stay here again if available on our next trip. Our daughter and son-in-law law live less than a mile away and we usually come 2 to 3 times a year for 10 to 14 days to visit.
Can't say enough about how great this place is! A lot of small places are dark but this place is filled with lots of sunshine! The decor is super cheery! The king size bed was very comfortable and there are light blocking drapes in the bedroom so you can sleep in if you want. Kevin was very responsive to all of our questions. There are a couple of great restaurants right at the bottom of the hill - .3 miles to be exact! And if you are in for a bit more of a walk you can head over to Lake Murray and have a beautiful walk there. And for any SDSU parents staying for parents weekend or a game it's a quick 10 min drive over to campus.
