Host was very communicative, very easy check in. House was very clean, rooms were very cozy and comfortable beds. Downtown was only about a 20 minute drive, so not bad at all. Would stay again!

Thank you for a lovely review, it's our pleasure hosting you and your guest, your welcome back anytime!
We stayed here for the NASCAR Race and San Diego Zoo. We were close to everything! The only thing I would note is there isn’t a/c in the master bedroom. We used a fan that was in the closet to keep it cool. The house was a nice size for our family, outdoor space was great.

Thank you for staying with us at Casita Diego! We are thrilled our location worked out so well for your trips to the NASCAR race and the San Diego Zoo, and that your family enjoyed the home and outdoor space.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the master bedroom as well! While the main house cooling and fans keep the home comfortable for most, we always want our guests to be as cool as possible. We’re glad the closet fan did the trick for you, and we’ll be sure to keep extra cooling options on hand for future stays.
We’d love to host your family again the next time you're in San Diego!"
Walmart, Target, and other shops close by. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Large patio in the back with a very nice garden.

We had a great time in San Diego and coming back to this house made it better to relax.. the back yard was spacious and inviting to relax with my family and friends. The owner communicated very well and responded fast. The backyard only needed some spider web clean up. But other than that we would recommend this house ..

Thank you for the recommendation, and we'd be honored to host you all again!"
Gary was great to work with and the property was quite nice. Gary was accommodating in so many ways and we appreciated him much!My one feedback would be the lack of supplies in the kitchen. The property lists for 8, but there were only 4 forks in the kitchen. This was consistent with other dishes and utensils. There was also a lack of dishcloths, which made clean up hard. Otherwise it was a wonderful property!
