San Diego Old Town

Wow…what a wonderful place. Steve the host was fabulous. The place was so cute and spotless. It was literally just across the street from Old Town. Which makes it only minutes from almost all San Diego hot spots. Loved our stay. If we ever return to the area, will stay here again.

Perfect Location

We loved our stay in the casita. The location was perfect for visiting Old Town and the beaches. We used the trolley to get around downtown in order to eliminate parking problems and the station is an easy walk with a day pass costing $6. Communication was excellent with check in instructions and all of the information we needed. We highly recommend staying in the casita and we hope to return in the future.

Perfect Location

The property was as nice as the online pictures and Steve, the property manager was wonderful to work with. The location allowed us to walk to the Old Town restaurants and shops with ease. We also enjoyed sitting out on the patio and relaxing. Although close to Old Town the property was very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely book again when we are in San Diego.

Cute Casita

Very charming 1940s casita with many original features. Small but cozy and has everything one might need! Very clean. We loved sitting on the beautiful, shaded patio - the owner maintains a lovely garden. One block from Old Town. We would definitely stay again!

Great Casita, Perfect location!

This casita has everything you need to feel at home. Steve was the perfect host. We had a great time. Sitting outside in the evening was so relaxing. We had a glass of wine, cheese and crackers, plus could hear the music from Old Town. We would definately stay again. Everything was perfect.

Quaint and lovely casita

This is our second time staying at this casita. It’s very clean and has everything you need! Stayed with hubby and adult son who slept very comfortably on the pull out sofa bed. Best location in town! I always make it a point to hit all of the shops. Love the local culture and atmosphere. We will be back soon!

Excellent, well maintained, conveniently located casita.

Property is right in Old Town San Diego, within easy walking distance of great restaurants, shopping, and the trolley. Casita is fairly spacious, with a nice front and back porch. Very well-stocked, owners had clearly thought about what travelers might need to make their stay more pleasant. Owner was very helpful with suggestions for attractions in the area, restaurants, etc. We had a great time, even though we had to leave a day early to drive home due to the holiday chaos caused by Southwest airlines. Would happily recommend this property!

Charming quarters and location

The size of the quarters was just right for the two of us. I loved the patio! Since we opted not to rent a car, it was a bit of a challenge to get around. But we finally figured it out by using Uber and public transportation. Steve was most helpful and accommodating. He even took us to the grocery store and then back. Thanks, Steve.

Lovely place to stay

The casita is so cute and in a great location! It was perfect for my husband, teenage son and myself. It was wonderful to be able to just walk to so many shops and restaurants. The couch/sofa bed was nice and so easy to make and put away. The shower has excellent water pressure and the casita was very clean, which my husband and I really appreciated. Also, they have a lot of things available to you, just in case. I tend to pack everything we might need so we didn't use the items, but was impressed by how thoughtful they are. This place is just a short drive to everything else in SD. We were in SD for a wedding and it was only 9 minutes away from the venue. The only issue was that we wished we could have stayed longer. Thanks Steve for being a great host and for your lovely casita! Looking forward to staying at your place again. Next time I will make sure I book it more than 2 nights!

Peaceful Stay!

We preferred staying in this quaint cottage as compared to hotels for a change. It was much quieter and had more amenities at no extra cost. We loved being able to cook and have a full refrigerator to stock the food we brought with us, and to have an actual dining room table to use felt more homey. We only had to eat out twice within the 4 full days we stayed there--one dinner and one lunch. We walked to our wonderful Mexican lunch, since it was located right across the street a block away in the Fiesta de Reyes Plaza. There was also plenty of room to get comfy on the couch for reading and watching TV. There were so many other options of TV Services to choose from at no extra cost than what we have at home. Since the weather was overcast and rainy while we were there, staying in turned out to be a blessing. Plus, the bed was quite comfortable. Parking is available in the back separated by a gate at no extra charge, so you feel your car is safe and easily accessible. We could also text the owners and get answers to our questions very quickly. It felt like they were family. We were so happy we chose this special place to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. We will be back!.
