Fantasic spot to stay

This spot has everything. Fridge, freezer, well appointed kitchen. Well cared for. View. The Owners were very communicative and helpful. You definitely want to stay here!If I had any tip for future vrbo’ers it would be this place can be a bit hard to find. Had to drive the maze a few times to remember it. But the owners were helpful in that also, leaving a video guide to help, and even walking me in the first night

Our stay in the Loft at Mt. Helix

The Loft is a studio apartment with one double bed and trundle.The coffee pot had old coffee in the basket and the glass carafe was stained. Other than that, the apartment was very clean.Since we used the place to only sleeep at night, it was very adequate for us.

Stunning

I booked a trip to stay near my family for the holidays. I was pleased to hear it was okay to bring my two small dogs. The loft is absolutely stunning with amazing views and the perfect size for a couple and some furbabies. The owner was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure we were comfortable. I will definitely book again in the future!

Quiet and very clean!

My family and I needed a place to stay locally as we had to temporarily relocate after a water leak at our home close by. Everything we need was there to cook with, and keep up with laundry etc. Comfortable beds, good people, and amazing views!

Needs improvement

We stayed 5 nites. There's no cliset to hang clothes or dresser to put clothis in. We had to luve out of our suitcase for the week. Bed is too small. I think its a double. Property manager was great! We had issues with TV and he had it fixed immediately. The coffee maker was broken and we had a new one the next morning. We brought our dog and taking her out at night was tough because there was no lighting on the side of the house.

Beautiful Loft in San Diego, Perfect for a Relaxing Stay with my kitties!

As I travel from Seattle to San Diego, I needed a place for my two kitties while preparing for our new apartment. I found this beautiful loft on Vrbo and absolutely loved it! Josh, the host, is kind, respectful, and provides detailed answers to any questions, making communication easy. The place is amazing, perfect for relaxing after a hectic life, and my cats felt calm too. It’s a peaceful spot with great amenities like Wi-Fi, laundry, toiletries, towels, and kitchen essentials. The check-in process was smooth, though it's a bit pricey. It’s ideal for up to four people with pets, and the place itself is truly magnificent.

Josh is a really super nice guy and not a hover host, he is 100% available if you need his help . The view is beautiful and the area safe. I cannot find any negatives about this Vrbo. We will return as we have family in SD.

Amazing place

We were a family of 4 and we were very comfortable. The kitchen is amazing, is a full stove and huge microwave with a large refrigerator. The washer and dryer came super handy. The views in the morning are amazing, it has some of the best views I have seen in San Diego. It has windows in every angle. Close enough to everything (20 mins to any attraction). If you are looking for a great place to retreat after a long day of sightseeing, this is the place!!!! The supermarket (VONS) is about a mile away. Extremely quiet and it has a super cute hang out place that makes you feel like you are in a cabin up in the mountains somewhere remote, but you are not. Josh was the most attentive host we’ve ever deal in a rental…amazing place.
