Very secure building.

Great weather. Location is central to downtown restaurants and exhibits like the zoo, USS Midway and Coronado. We felt secure with the lock system of the rental. Like many cities experiencing homeless residents, this area is still rather nice.

I came to San Diego for a business trip, and got very pleasantly surprised by this place. The room was very clean and had everything that anyone would want: a small kitchen, TV, wi-fi, a bathroom with lots of towels, sufficient amounts of shampoo and soap, a good bed. Upon arrival I received detailed instructions, which I found very helpful. The location is close to the Convention Center, to which I walked every day. It is also close to lots of restaurants with numerous food options. I will definitely stay here when I visit San Diego in future.

Professional and comfortable

We truly enjoyed our stay. Property management was there to answer all of our questions and found time to ask how we were doing after a day of staying. Although we were slightly surprised by the neighborhood and attracted homeless in the area. The neighbors were very nice and welcoming. The welcoming letter gave us all the details we needed and some. We were close to the Beach and 5 minutes to the San Diego zoo. I Wouldn't mind staying again.

Lovely, clean property

My husband and I stayed at this property for a week. It was clean and had all necessary kitchen supplies. Just a few blocks from a neighborhood Walmart. Close to downtown. We rented bikes to get around the city. The owner was quick to respond to any concerns (WiFi stopped working briefly and he fixed it promptly). The bed was very comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here!!

Near everything

This property was within just a couple miles of everything we wanted to do in San Diego. Had a great Christmas with our son who is stationed in San Diego. Carpet looks about ready to be replaced, but was clean. Room was clean with nice bedding and all amenities needed. Post has a list of items available upon request, but we had everything we needed in the room. received our welcome letter timely with all instructions on how to access the property. Our flight got in very late, so it was nice just to be able to go straight to the property and not have to deal with a link the “check in” process. There’s a beautiful courtyard in the back of the property. Unfortunately we had rain the whole time we were there and we’re not able to take advantage of the beautiful flowers and gazebo. Would stay here again.

Great location, safe, convenient and relaxing

We really enjoyed staying at the Sherman Heights Victorian that was lovingly restored and put to great use as a vacation rental. Parking was easy, temperature was great, we never made a full meal, but could have if we had wanted to, enjoyed laundry on site as we stayed over a week and the yard to relax and work/read. Easy walk to downtown made for a fun way to be non car in an otherwise bustling city of highways. Downtown and the wharf/Embarcadero area are just amazing to behold. I was born in San Diego but moved away for grad school over 28 years ago and it is always fun to see the fantastic renovations and city centric activities for locals and tourist. Highly recommend this rental! Judy now in Denver, CO

Wonderful hotel alternative for the business traveler!

The apartment is located approximately 1 mile from the San Diego Convention center and was a lovely alternative to a hotel. Pristine clean with everything you need to feel like you 'came home' after a long day of work! Although I did not rent a car, there was plenty of street parking. I never waiting more than 3 minutes for a Lyft/Uber to get downtown. Quite building and neighborhood. It was a perfect alternative to the busy hotel scene!

Great unit, of course it rained while we were there, until the day we left :) Clean, well kept, spacious. Great price close enough to everything but not in the middle of everything.
