Overall a very nice little house in a quiet neighborhood with an amazing backyard. The BEST shower e.v.e.r. I’ll be dreaming of that shower pressure for years to come. So thoughtful with games and other small amenities. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. Close to the conference center and an amazing taco truck just down the road (get the fish taco - you won’t regret it!)

This house is beautiful, clean and well kept up. The back yard is great for dogs. The walk-in shower is pretty and I wish I had one just like it at home. The bed was super comfy.

Prime location in San Diego

Family of three had a cozy stay here. Everything was exactly as described. Very clean upon arrival. Home is definitely a smaller, well kept, older home, but it was more than big enough for us as we were out exploring the city during the day. The neighborhood felt safe and within walking distance to lots of places. Backyard was a nice little hangout spot and we lucked out with beautiful weather to enjoy it. We would definitely stay here again. Communication was great, super responsive! Thanks for a nice stay!Side note, this location is near the airport so planes are frequently flying overhead.

Great getaway. The property had everything we needed and more. Loved the firepit in the evenings. The dog beach was a short drive away and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet.

Perfect Stay — Family-Friendly, Comfortable, and Felt Like Home!

We had a wonderful stay at Stefanie's place. The home had everything we needed and truly felt like a home away from home. It’s located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood which was perfect for us. Stefanie was a great host — very responsive and made everything easy. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing place to stay.
