The property is neat, well-equipped and located in a nice neighborhood, close to the things to do in the area. What a comfortable bed, especially after a full day of activities! We visit San Diego now and then, and will be happy to stay here again.

Adorable upstairs apartment

We loved our stay in South Park. The apartment was perfect for the two of us, and the neighborhood had restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. Luci was a wonderful host and very attentive. I highly recommend it and would stay here again.

South Park renaissance was not conducive to napping, but we got some rest and really appreciated being walking distance to restaurants/shops and excellent small gym (South Park fitness)!

Great space in a great spot!

We loved the guesthouse! It was very clean, which is super important to us. It had wonderful charm, as well. A huge bonus was discovering South Park! We could have spent our entire vacation in this amazing spot. The restaurants, shops and friendly people were the best! It is our new favorite spot in San Diego. Luci is the owner right next door and she gave us great recommendations to try as well as the fresh lemons from her tree! We will be back!

Great space and location

This property was in a great neighborhood convenient to the zoo, the airport, shopping, supermarkets, the harbor and Balboa Park. There was no assigned parking and it is a busy neighborhood but I was able to find parking within a block or so. It was quiet, cute and clean. The property management and owner were communicative, helpful and friendly.

Amazing location!!

We were unfamiliar with this neighborhood, but wanted to stay close to Balboa Park. So glad we booked this property because it's a gem! The neighborhood is very hip and has really nice restaurants and bars close by. You can easily walk to anything you need. There is even a Target 2 blocks away. The space was perfect for two adults. We didn't cook much (only breakfast), but the kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. The bed is very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet. The parking can be a little challenging on Friday and Saturday nights, as people park in the neighborhood to walk to restaurants or shops, but we never had an issue finding parking pretty close to the property (for most of our stay we were able to park on the street right in front of the house). Communication with Aaron was super easy. He's friendly and very responsive. Luci (who lives next door on the property) is also very responsive and helpful if we needed anything. We had a wonderful getaway and would definitely stay at this guesthouse again.

Like being at grandmas house

Thank you Lucy for this stay. Overall great place with some minor hiccups. The neighborhood is quiet and Lucy was quite communicative to welcome us as well as providing information about the television and internet that has just been hooked up. Her agent Aaron sent us info about groceries that could be delivered prior to our stay. You have to do it within 24 hrs though. That's a fun fact. There is a full kitchen at this home with everything you need to cook. Salt, pepper, some vinegar, oil, coffee left by previous renters was there. Lots of opportunity to eat at the many restaurants and food trucks in the area. A small Target and 7-11 is one block down the street. Everything convenient. This home is old but charming. I grew up in a home that would squeak every time you walk. This one did too. The shower has powerful. Just watch how you turn on the hot water.....it's scorching HOT! Air conditioning was great however I'm not sure if the thermostat is correct. 77 degrees felt like 65. Lucy had the television fixed the next day as she had checked on it after being serviced. The bed was quite uncomfortable. Both my partner and I woke up daily stiff and with sore backs. Not ever getting a full rest. The biggest downside to the stay. The shades are a great feature as the street lights shine in your eyes at night. I was sent a checkout list and when we were departing.. Not sure if the cleaning fee includes throwing away the rubbish and recycling? Thank you for this stay

Charming Apartment, Great Neighborhood

I had a wonderful stay here! Luci is a wonderful host, super accommodating and friendly and has lived in the neighborhood for decades. I appreciated the local recommendations in the guest book! The location really can't be beat, it's extremely walkable to tons of great food and shopping options, Balboa Park, etc. The apartment is spacious, clean, and retains its original charm while everything has been updated and well maintained. It was also much bigger than I had anticipated, I think two or three people could stay very comfortably here. I'm looking forward to future stays here!
