Great place in a great location!

We had a great stay at this lovely place! Steve was great from check in through check out. He was super helpful in giving us information about the area, his favorite places and how to contact him if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again!

Great property and host!

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. Centrally located to downtown, the beaches, and all the other great parts of San Diego. Steve was a great host. Took care of one minor glitch without a problem. Look forward to renting this property again.

San Diego in a week!

Excellent location! Spacious, clean, updated, quiet and safe area! Communicating with host very easy! We did the parking on the street for $10/day, and had no problem finding parking within 1 to 1 1/2 block area. Highly recommend!

Saved my stay in San Diego!

Steven was able to rent out his space last minute after another VRBO cancelled on me. Great location and an excellent space from which to launch daily excursions in the downtown/Balboa Park area. The layout was perfect and the place was clean and all appliances working. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

Clean and Well Appointed

Friends were overwhelmed by how nice it was. Kept commenting. Modern and clean. Great location. Although we enjoyed dining out, kitchen was well appointed. If you like no check out chores, this is the place for you. They take care of it all. Would stay here again.

Terrific place in a great location

Steve’s property was perfect for our vacation- the king bed and two twins were exactly what we were looking for. It was clean,spacious, and had everything we needed. The location was great for walkable downtown activities. Would definitely stay again. VRBO completely messed up on getting access to the property- none of it Steve’s fault and he tried to help me fix it- but next time I would either call VRBO a week ahead or book through another provider. Great property and paying extra for the parking space was worth it for us.

Exactly as advertised

Over the last four years my wife and I travel to San Diego twice yearly to see our daughter and each time we utilize VRBO. We have stayed in the heart of Little Italy and Gas Lamp and a combination of location and the unit itself this has been our best stay. What you sacrifice for an extra three block walk to the inner city happenings you gain a safe quiet neighborhood in a wonderful well appointed sizable 2 bedroom unit. As outlined in other reviews, the owner Steve, was terrfic as well.

SDSU Move-In

We stayed at this property for my son's SDSU move-in weekend. The property was very clean and Steve was super accommodating. The house appeared to be having some renovations done (cut outs in ceiling) and there was ongoing yard work outside. I assume all were for the betterment/improvement of an already nice property. On-site parking is "tricky" but if you're a good driver, you can pull it off :). This is a great stay if you want to be close to downtown and everything the city has to offer.

Great stay for a family trip

We were visiting San Diego with our two small children and senior dog for spring break. LOCATION: The house is in a great location - close to so many attractions (the zoo, pier, gaslamp, Petco Park, etc) but also on a nice quiet street, so it still feels like you're tucked away from the noise. There is a small playground at the end of the block, which was a nice added bonus for us with our two little ones!! HOST - Steve was awesome. Warm, personable, and super helpful. We encountered a few minor issues with the house, but Steve was able to help immediately. I will say, we didn't get any pre-communication about check-in, etc, even though we booked about a month before arriving, but all was well once we arrived. HOUSE - The house is ALMOST exactly as pictured. When we booked, the pictures showed carpet in the bedrooms, but they both had hardwood when we arrived. Not a huge deal, but if that's important to you, it's of note. As some other reviewers noted - there are no dressers to store away clothes and items you can't hang - just something to keep in mind.AMENITIES - The house was pretty clean and well-stocked. Lots of towels and supplies were easily accessible. The water heat, and pressure were fantastic! Great for anyone who loves a good hot shower! We had a great, relaxing stay and will definitely consider staying here again the next time we come to town!

Great option for SD visit

It was so great to be in this guest house as opposed to a hotel! Paid extra to park off the street which was wonderful since street parking is limited. Liked that the property was gated and quiet. Easy highway access made it a convenient location. Air conditioning was nice to have. The owner was friendly and very helpful. We were very comfortable and would stay again.
