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!

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!

Great option for SD visit

It was so great to be in this guest house as opposed to a hotel! Paid extra to park off the street which was wonderful since street parking is limited. Liked that the property was gated and quiet. Easy highway access made it a convenient location. Air conditioning was nice to have. The owner was friendly and very helpful. We were very comfortable and would stay again.

Cute and clean

The house was very nice and clean. It could’ve been a little better stocked ie: coffee, bath soap. The smart lock was an issue every time we came back. Plan on using Uber/lift especially at night due to the homeless people camping on the sidewalks.

Excellent house for staying in San Diego

This was a great property-clean and well maintained and in a good location for exploring Central San Diego. Only thing which would make it better would be a bit more information about the equipment in the property eg type of coffee machine and things like what to do with the bins. Steve was really responsive though when I messaged him.
