Amazing!

This was the most amazing stay I’ve ever had. The owners are so attentive to the Guests, and have the most amazing set up! Their level of customer service is unparalleled to anything I’ve ever experienced. Not to mention how gorgeous the interiors are, and the house itself. It’s a prime location and walking distance to DTSD. Very quite neighborhood as well. My stay was so amazing, I extended it and they were so accommodating to place me into another apartment home within the same building. You will not want to pass up an opportunity to stay here!

Very nice location!

The unit itself was very nice. It was clean and in a good location. It’s a mile or a little more walk to petco park and the Gaslamp Quarter. We walked almost exclusively and never had any issues. There are some homeless folks in the area. Never felt unsafe or bothered. I would stay here again, without a doubt!

It was a perfect location. The place was pretty as well but it does have an old wood or old house smell if that makes sense. The space was perfect made me feel like I lived in California. I would book again.

Great spot

Pros: Full equipped place - stuff for the beach, fully stocked kitchen. Backyard was awesome, complete with an orange tree. $10 uber ride to downtown. Easy communication and check in. Cons: Beds were pretty worn down (sagging in the middle) and the sheets were pretty polyester-y. The neighbourhood is okay but I probably wouldn't want to stay there alone. Bathroom floor needs a good scrub and the BBQ was gross (not the owner's fault, previous user just didn't clean it).

Beautiful stay in a great location!

Our family loved our stay here. It was perfect for our family of 4. We had what we needed & anytime we had a question and reached out, our host answered immediately. We had the opportunity to use the grill & hang out relaxing on the lounge chairs. My husband enjoyed fresh oranges off the orange tree. Other people staying in the surrounding apartments were quiet & it was a very nice stay. We'll be back!

Great stay for a week

The property was nice, we were there a full week so we got used to calling this place home. It's out of downtown but it's super easy to get downtown or hop on a highway and get up to La Jolla. Check-in was super easy and John was always available if we needed something.

My 2 friends, whom I've known for over 50 years decided to go to San Diego One of my friends, Cathy, had never been to California. Her husband recently passed in May and we thought this might help her with her grief. Well, the 3 of us had a marvelous time. The place we rented was just great, it had every amenity we could have asked for We are just so thankful to John for a beautiful few days, Thanks, Alyson

AMAZING!!

Can't say enough about this rental, John, and sweetest feline ambassador of the neighborhood!! This location, ideal. The unit, BLOWN AWAY!! The property, AWESOME! We had so much fun on our trip. This unit's location is just minutes from everything you'll want to do in San Diego. Gaslamp downtown: 2 minutes away. Old town: 2 minutes away. Balboa Park: 2 minutes away. You get the idea. This unit is at the heart of what makes San Diego a top vacation destination. John has absolutely thought of everything when it comes to ensuring your needs are met. We've stayed at VRBO rentals all over San Diego, including two locations at the beach. and i have to say this unit is, hands down my favorite. I will be seeking out this location next summer because it really was one of our best trips in years!! Thank you John and cool neighborhood ambassador cat!!

Great Accommodation!!

We really enjoyed our stay. Due to Covid19 we were house bound but was able to spend the week with my son who is in the Navy and had a serious surgery. The owner was on hand when needed and accommodated my family. I would love to stay again if we were to visit San Diego again.

Easy access to everything

We stayed for 1 week to spend time with my son who was deploying, easy and quick access to all freeways and Coronado Bridge, close to downtown and shopping as well as the airport. We enjoyed our time. The neighbors can get a bit noisy on occasion, but seem to pipe down in a short time. I would recommend and stay again. Thank you for your hospitality! Heading home this morning to Vegas but will return when my son returns from overseas. 🇺🇸

Our family of 4 spent a very pleasant week at this lovely apartment. It is clean, well furnished, attractive and luminous. John and Nicolas were very helpful and kind. Parking is also easy to find. the only problem we encountered was some quite noisy guests staying above us for part of our stay. Overall we were very happy.

The place was a perfect distance from MCRD which is was what we we're looking for is also very close to downtown. The place was clean and packed with the essentials and more. Beautiful and cozy. Communication with John was good and reply within promptly time. The place was also very low allergen which it was perfect for since our daughter has severe allergies we didn't deal any during our stayed. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by John Reardon

Host profile image
I grew up in Northampton Massachusetts, a town with countless beautiful old homes and lots of woods. I spent countless days in my youth building tree forts never knowing that those 2 dynamics would intersect at this point. Upon arriving in San Diego with an interest in building and purchasing real estate, I became immediately interested in the largely neglected Victorian buildings in this area of town. This property became a labor of love for me many years ago and I hope that legacy will be carried forward by my 3 sons. My wife if Japanese, so our family often divides our time between 2 very different worlds, both with much to offer.

Why they chose this property

It is our hope that our guests will appreciate the attention to detail and uniqueness of design that has been incorporated into every aspect of this property.

What makes this property unique

This property is strategically located close to most of San Diego's most popular destinations. It's central location and proximity to a newly revitalized downtown, airport, beaches and parks affords our guests the best possible experience while visiting San Diego.
