The parking isn't very convenient for someone who is in a wheelchair. We loved the house but again had to leave her wheelchair outside as well as our shoes(which isn't a problem) We felt safe due to needing a code to get into the property. Tje water gets very hot so be careful letting littles play in the tub. We loved havimg the hot water because most places don't usually have good hot water. The beds were very comfortable.

Quick visit on our way to Hawaii

Accommodation was exactly want we were had in mind for our short stay. Clean and equipped as stated. One small thing, the front bedroom was very hard to get around the foot of the bed. I hit my knee on it, so i remedy that problem by putting a pool noodle around it, worked great.

Great space, even though downtown isn't great

Great space and gave us a short drive to many great places. Plus having a space for our kids was great too. The owners were easy to communicate with and got back to us quickly. We even walked to Petco Park, even though the downtown walk was a little long and had some issues.

Cute House close to Downtown

Yes I would I recommend this house. We enjoyed it and were happy with the property. The main house, which sits in front of the rental property, is a lovely restored home from probably the early 1900s. The photos of the house perfect, you get what you see in the photos. House is located on a main street so it is easy to get to downtown and to the major expressways for day trips. The neighborhood is old, with two beautiful churches within a block of the property. It appears that people are trying to renovate this area as some homes are nicer than others. Parking is on the street, that kinda made me nervous but it worked out OK. I wish they would have had central air in the house, only the bedrooms had window units. So there was noise from them. I had an issue with the remote control for the AC, I texted the property manager and it was fixed right away. All in all it was a good trip and we are glad we got to stay here. Plus the price was right.

Central location

Our place had easy access to all that we wanted to do in San Diego. While the neighborhood may look sketchy, we did not feel unsafe. It was clean upon arrival. We were able to park nearby if parking was not available out front. The bedrooms were small but comfortable. Hot water for all showers and dishwashing was appreciated. Thank you! It appeared as described however the finishings are showing wear (example: rusty soap dispenser, scratched toilet seat, stained microwave. etc.) The water downed detergent and shampoo are silly. It would be better to just not offer it. The quarters for the washer and dryer were a huge bonus and the detailed instructions were thoughtful. Thank you for providing us with a clean and safe place to lay our heads.

Guest house in San Diego

This small guest house was ideal for our 12 day vacation in San Diego. Location was perfect for us to walk to seaport village and gaslamp. We even walked to little Italy and balboa park. Otherwise Ubers were quick and reasonably priced for the short distance. The guest house was a private getaway with kitchen set up so that we cooked breakfast every day. We would stay here again and highly recommend it for 3-4 people.

Great place, well run

We've stayed here a couple of times now. Nice place. Wish it had a parking space, but you can't have everything in life. Owners are great. They let us check out late because they didn't have anyone coming in behind us, and when there was a mix up with the cleaners prior to our arrival, they fixed it asap and comp'ed us the night. Can ask for fairer than that.

San Diego

John’s place was fairly spacious for 2 people and John was easy to get in contact with, which we appreciated. However, we had issues throughout our stay with the wifi - John did try fixing it by resetting it however, it would only work for an hour at a time and then need to be reset again. We did reach out to John to help trouble shoot (and he always responded right away) but after the third day of having the issue just gave up. The street the house is on is also quite loud so you can’t sleep with the windows down. Thankfully the rooms do have AC (which is very loud but helps drown out the street noise).

Perfect Guesthouse

My family and I were in San Diego to witness my grandson graduating from the Marine’s boot camp. Our experience was absolutely perfect. This property is so cute, immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable, The owners stayed in contact with us via email making sure we were comfortable and to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!!

Clean and Comfortable

The property is excellent. Everything we needed was available. They even came by on the same day to refill our soap when it was empty. The property is safe and gated. The outdoor spaces on the porch and the patio were very nice and we used them quite a bit. The location and proximity to everything was wonderful, however the neighborhood (even though the houses are beautiful, well maintained and historic) are surrounded by homeless. Through no fault of the owner, we did not feel comfortable walking around the area very much. I understand that the situation is much improved from previous months and I hope that it is a trend moving in the right direction. If you have a car rental, there was plenty of parking and eliminated the need for walking around the neighborhood.
