Perfect Guesthouse

My family and I were in San Diego to witness my grandson graduating from the Marine’s boot camp. Our experience was absolutely perfect. This property is so cute, immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable, The owners stayed in contact with us via email making sure we were comfortable and to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!!

Guest house in San Diego

This small guest house was ideal for our 12 day vacation in San Diego. Location was perfect for us to walk to seaport village and gaslamp. We even walked to little Italy and balboa park. Otherwise Ubers were quick and reasonably priced for the short distance. The guest house was a private getaway with kitchen set up so that we cooked breakfast every day. We would stay here again and highly recommend it for 3-4 people.

We highly recommend this vacation rental if you plan to be in the San Diego area!

Trip with Grandson

The house is very clean, it is small but has everything you need, aud it is very centrally located making all of the San Diego attractions minutes away. Parking was not a problem. Our only suggestion is improve the mattresses.
