Stayed with my sister, her husband and my 5 yo nephew and we loved this location. Everything about the stay was easy, and we felt so comfortable the entire time

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Location was perfect for our group spending a few days in San Diego. Clean, quiet, and the complementary snacks were a bonus!

Great cozy home convenient to all things San Diego. Short drive to Balboa Park, airport, and beaches aren’t too far. Comfortable beds. Kitchen stocked with the basics, plus snacks and drinks. Only issue I had was that there was no broom, vacuum, or mop so floors couldn’t be cleaned.

Property was clean. The only downside was the tub did not drain when you were showering. I am sure they will fix it though.

We were looking for a location close to downtown/Balboa Park/airport, and this was just what we were looking for! A nice updated 2bdrm/1bath in a well kept neighborhood. A reserved parking spot was also a bonus. Excellent communication with the owners as well.

Had my parents (and their Westie) in town for the weekend, and had a great stay here! Comfy beds, numerous streaming options, and super clean! Nice to come back to after a day of playing tourist AND perfect cozy space for a lazy day of streaming and eating. Would definitely stay here again. 🥰

This VRBO is excellently situated. It is minutes from Balboa Park as well as downtown, the waterfront and the main roads with access anywhere. The unit itself is modest with few amenities but is clean and comfortable.

Very quiet apartment. Neighbourhood was lovely for walking. Xeriscaped gardens were amazing. Close to San Diego zoo and dog parks.

I have to come to San Diego on business three times per year. This is the only place I will stay. I have tried hotels and other VRBO locations, but this one is the best. I now consider it my home away from home. It is an older building, but the owners have really done a great job making the place like new. It is very clean. The neighborhood is quiet. It is very convenient to downtown San Diego and the airport. The rental has an assigned parking place which is a huge convenience. The owners are very responsive. This rental is as close to perfect as any I place I have ever stayed.

The property is great. It’s clean and well maintained. It is quiet. It has its own parking spot which is extremely convenient. It is close to downtown, the airport, and Balboa Park. I have to come to San Diego on business several times a year. This is my go to place to stay.

Location can't be beat. The unit is very clean and had all the basic amenities. You can hear the people walking around the unit above you, but we were able to use the fans provided to block out the noise. It's a good value for a location.

Great neighborhood, easy walk to fun coffee shops and restaurants. The little touches made it very special -- there was some coffee, chips, cookies, sodas already stocked and free to consume. There is also a washer / drier and detergent so you don't have to go home with everything dirty. Highly recommend this place.

Great place to enjoy the quiet and still take a walk into Balboa Park to enjoy nature, museums, zoo or planetarium. The place was comfortable and clean. The host was very helpful and easy to reach. The only minor downside was the pull out sofa bed that dips when extended, but served its purpose. Overall, we will be back!

I enjoyed our stay here. It was in a convenient location to all the places that we wanted to enjoy. The place was pretty spacious and very clean. They even provided snacks and drinks for free which was a nice surprise. The couch also pulls out to be about a double size bed. And one parking spot was provided even thiugh there is plenty of street parking. I would definitely stay here again if I visit San Diego in the future.

Unit was clean, super convenient location and having the parking space was wonderful. Love that we could walk to Balboa Park. Easy access to San Diego’s sights. Overall comfortable space. Two minor bits to be aware of as renters - one that the large TV in the king bedroom makes it difficult to get into the bed. Perhaps a smaller TV? The pull out couch was not very comfortable - but how many pull outs really are??
