Perfect Family Spot

We spent a week here with our two kids, ages 8 and 10. Wonderful location, close and easy access to Balboa Park, downtown, Mission Valley, etc. Great spot to use as a home base while exploring areas around San Diego County (Legoland, Safari Park, Julian, etc.) Owners were great, helpful and extra friendly, really great people. Absolutely would stay here again if the opportunity arose!

Awesome family time!

This cozy property provided exactly what we needed, a comfortable place for us to sleep and a great outdoor space to hang out in. We grilled out every night saving money on eating out. it also gave us time to hang out with our grandchildren. It was an easy trip to the beach and the zoo. It was a perfect fit, and the check-in check-out was super easy. Esmeralda was very attentive to ensure we had everything we needed and followed up to be sure we enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Host!

I was looking for an area in San Diego to stay and after many hours I almost gave up. Then I found this home and it worked great! Esmeralda was very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. Throughout my stay she made sure I was accommodated and comfortable. If you’re looking for a place in San Diego I’d definitely check this place out!

I'll start by saying that pretty much everything about this property was easy and Esmeralda the host was wonderful, accommodating, and easy to reach. The unit itself is located at the top of the hill in a quiet neighborhood. It's about a 20 minute drive from anything you want to do in San Diego. A trolly stop is nearby, easy walking distance. The unit was very clean! It was spacious for two of us, but it would be a tight fit for four people I think. It was well supplied with all the things we needed and they were clean. The reason I give this four instead of five stars is that it is directly connected to their house and the walls are thin so the neighbor noise comes through. Also, there is no stove, just an electric griddle, but it has a very nice referigerator.

Great Host!

The host was excellent and communicative! We had plenty of space for our needs, the bathroom was a nice size, and the outdoor seating area was sweet. I was not expecting the rental unit to be attached to the house, but it was not a problem. I was surprised that there was no air conditioning, but the windows opened and the weather was lovely. The neighborhood and parking were intimidating but it worked. The couch bed was very uncomfortable and I would say bring your own pillows.

The guest house was unbelievably cozy. The warm vibes were what we're use to. The parents who lived in the main house were extremely kind and accommodating. We felt right at home. I loved the design of the home and I'd go back anytime amd I will. Thank you Ezzie, Blanca and JJ. Vickie and Penny

Quiet & Lovely Space

This was a great vacation rental! I would definitely stay here again. It was clean (spotless!), quiet (I woke to birdsong on the first morning), safe, and comfortable. There were three adults staying there. I slept on the pull out couch and it was surprisingly comfortable ! I'd sleep there again. The shower was hot and nice. The space was friendly and inviting. The place is about 25 minutes from the airport. It is about 20 minutes from SDSU (as I drove!). I'm not sure how far it is from Old Town because we made a detour at Nothing Bundt Cake (an excellent detour!). The location is excellent! I really enjoyed my two nights here.
