San Diego stay

Property was just fine with the exception of the dishware and basic kitchen tools. There were only two coffee cups and no corkscrew for the wine.

Not yout typical rental

We stayed at this property for three nights. We were pleased to find that it was in a safe neighborhood and that the host was very responsive. Everything in the home was in great working order. I was impressed by the quality of the furnishings, appliances, cookware, right down to the hairdryer (T3! probably a $150 dryer). Our favorite part of the rental was using the fire pit in the courtyard. It was nice to be able to gather and enjoy the company of our group without being disturbed. I would definitely stay at this property again if I were to return to San Diego.

East, convenient, spacious place to stay

Great place to stay in SD. Best thing — covered RESERVED parking spot. Huge plus. Especially since street parking is usually full, and we got upgraded with our rental vehicle (yes, thankful for the full size SUV, but parallel parking?? Lol ) The kitchen has everything you need — all the dishes, dishwasher, full refrig, and washer and dryer. Family room + TV— kids were able to pull up Netflix, HBO plus, etc everything we have at home. Beds are very comfortable. Much of SD is in the flight pattern, so we greatly appreciated the white noise machines! All in all, a very easy place to stay. We will rebook when we come back.
