Everything was as advertised. There was a small issue with the dishwasher that the host was quick to respond to. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a coffee maker and toaster. The large sectional couch was great and fit all five of us easily. I will definitely stay here again if I need a three bedroom place. Thanks for everything.

Family Trip to San Diego

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house itself was perfect for our group of 5 (2 sets of adults and a toddler). The house had everything we needed for our son, and was perfect place to hang out for the adults. It was great to be within walking distance of the Normal Heights restaurants, bars, and coffee shops and it was an easy drive to all of the things we wanted to do (especially to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo).
