Family Trip to SD

Nice, clean place. Neighborhood is nice and centrally located. Property manager is very responsive and helpful, one of the best I've had through VRBO. The listing says parking onsite, but there is only street parking when available. I parked a block or more away most times. There was construction on the units immediately behind us during our stay which added noise and made it less relaxing. I wish this had been disclosed prior to our visit. Small issues with the unit, like a bed frame that needs replacing (slats were broken underneath) and smoke alarm goes off if you use the oven. Good overall for the price.

This apartment was nicely appointed and updated with everything we needed for our stay. It is located on the second floor of an older apartment building in central San Diego, with convenient access to many city amenities, including the Zoo. The Hillcrest neighborhood is an older area that is undergoing some renewal and gentrification. Some small stores, restaurants and bars are within walking distance. We had a very nice, comfortable stay in our two days in this charming apartment. The owner was very communicative and gracious in allowing us early access to the unit so we could store our bags.

Very cute little apartment in the city

This place was super cute and had everything you need. The location is great, and you can walk to Balboa park or lots of nearby restaurants. It says it sleeps five, but the couch bed is probably only suitable for a child.
