Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

Berkshire Motor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to cafes, restaurants, and walking distance to my grandson’s apartment. Second time staying at the Berkshire. It’s quiet, clean, and a three minute walk to a great locally owned coffee shop (Inspired)."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Very memorable, loved the diner"

Adorable Spanish style casita in fantastic area of Historic North Park

10/10 Excellent

"Good location close to restaurants, shopping and activities. Well equipped kitchen. Parking in driveway was tight with a larger car. Host had posted directions around house for remotes, AC, etc. making it easy to know what to do. Enjoyed our stay!"

3 Story Spanish Style House, Best Location in SD. Views of North Park, With AC

10/10 Excellent

"There's a bedroom and bathroom on each floor. One upstairs, one on the main level and one in the basement. There is also a pull out sectional that could be used for a bed on the main level. Super easy check-in, but pay close attention to the parking instructions. If you have a larger vehicle (Our Atlas Cross Sport just barely fit) you may need to find parking on the street. We parked two cars in the garage, though:) The host was very clear on the instructions, so we were good to go! The house was clean and it worked perfectly for our purposes. We didn't get the opportunity to use the back patio or the kitchen, but there are spaces for people to be chill together or alone. Also loved that Jordan provided some local options in the instructions. I would definitely stay again! Thanks so much!"

Stylish King Suite Steps to Dining & Parks

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stay. One of the best stays I've had."
