Great little spot for a San Diego Break

Very good property overall. Steve was great at communication and his dogs are just awesome too. Glad we got to meet him. Really beautiful little spot and super easy to get around town and to the beaches from.

Great stay for a family trip

We were visiting San Diego with our two small children and senior dog for spring break. LOCATION: The house is in a great location - close to so many attractions (the zoo, pier, gaslamp, Petco Park, etc) but also on a nice quiet street, so it still feels like you're tucked away from the noise. There is a small playground at the end of the block, which was a nice added bonus for us with our two little ones!! HOST - Steve was awesome. Warm, personable, and super helpful. We encountered a few minor issues with the house, but Steve was able to help immediately. I will say, we didn't get any pre-communication about check-in, etc, even though we booked about a month before arriving, but all was well once we arrived. HOUSE - The house is ALMOST exactly as pictured. When we booked, the pictures showed carpet in the bedrooms, but they both had hardwood when we arrived. Not a huge deal, but if that's important to you, it's of note. As some other reviewers noted - there are no dressers to store away clothes and items you can't hang - just something to keep in mind.AMENITIES - The house was pretty clean and well-stocked. Lots of towels and supplies were easily accessible. The water heat, and pressure were fantastic! Great for anyone who loves a good hot shower! We had a great, relaxing stay and will definitely consider staying here again the next time we come to town!

Great location, great place! Would stay again

We came in for Comic Con and the place is nice and spacious, modern and sleek. We enjoyed the room and experience overall. Steve was a pleasure to work with, and when a couple of hiccups arose he was Johnny on the spot getting it fixed! overall great experience and enjoyed our time. A+++++ rating

Perfect Downtown San Diego Property/Location

This was a perfect fit for our family of three to explore San Diego and attend orientation at SDSU for my daughter. Very clean and beds are comfy! Steve is super nice and happy to make recommendations for dining and things to do. Overall a great stay! Thanks Steve!

The owner, Steve, had made we feel like home. It is a beautiful and clean place. I will definitely come back and recommend anyone who needs to rent a place in San Diego. This is way better than hotel.

Best place to stay in San Diego!

Everything was lovely! It was very clean, inviting and comfortable! Steve the host is the best and made sure we had a great stay. The location of this property is supreme and made its easy to see and do everything we wanted. I highly recommend this place. It doesn’t disappoint (even the kids called it living in luxury)!

Saved my stay in San Diego!

Steven was able to rent out his space last minute after another VRBO cancelled on me. Great location and an excellent space from which to launch daily excursions in the downtown/Balboa Park area. The layout was perfect and the place was clean and all appliances working. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

Wonderful home in a great location

This wonderful home is located in a beautiful neighborhood that is in close proximity to everything.
