Amanda is a terrific host. She had everything we needed for our stay. Very quiet neighborhood & many things nearby. Plenty of parking & you can park in the alley which you can access the property through the back gate..
My husband, our 7-year-old daughter and myself enjoyed this lovely house January 2025. It was centrally located by the airport, zoo, Sea World and La Jolla beach. It felt very safe to walk around the neighborhood and there is a delicious authentic Mexican restaurant about 15 minutes away on foot. The host was very accommodating. It was a great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay. Communication was easy and prompt. Location was perfect for our plans. Loved the rooftop deck. We would definitely stay here again.
this place is so unique and quiet but close to everything in San Diego. The rooftop is a great place to go and soak up the california sun or lay under the globe and relax. would definitely recommend to anyone!
My group and I loved the location of this place. It right in the middle on San Diego and there is so much to do with such a short drive away.
You can tell this place is very well maintained. We would definitely book again!
We had a group of 4 female coworkers that needed a place close to our workshop. We need space to sleep but also have quick meetings. The space worked well for our needs was close to everything. Street parking is always a challenge but it worked out
The home is located exactly where we wanted to be to visit the museums and not too far to reach the beach. Was shocked how quickly we could get to the zoo. Probably saved us tons of time not having to navigate through CA traffic. We had a wonderful time and appreciated the house.
The house is well setup and quite comfortable. It’s clean and nice to find someone that doesn’t cheap out on the little stuff such as toilet paper.
The only slight issue was parking on the street but it’s not bad.
A great landing pad to explore San Diego as a family
My husband, daughter (13), son (10) and I all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had everything we needed and plenty of space for our 4 night stay. The roof patio was a major highlight, and we enjoyed playing games as a family most nights. Centrally located and in a safe and quiet neighborhood, we found this to be an ideal spot from which to explore all San Diego has to offer!
All the outside furniture needs replacing they had holes in them and and they could use a bug Light because the Flies were horrendous on the patio and the spiral staircase needs more lighting and the couch would have been nice if it was a L shape not enough seating for four adults
I rented this place for my mom and girlfriends to stay at during for a long weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday and I cannot say enough positive things about this spot!! The rooftop has the most amazing sunset views, the space itself is super nice and clean. Extremely convenient and walking distance to many things in university heights. Overall a wonderful stay!
The property was exactly as described. Perfect and plenty of room for my wife, 16 year old son and I. We enjoyed outside area to eat breakfast in the morning and rooftop patio to relax after running around. The best part is this space comes with all the amenities of home.
The location is perfect. Close to many attractions… If you are thinking about booking, just do it before you miss out.
We enjoyed every moment of our 6 night stay. Although it is a compact space, the well equiped casita felt quite roomy and with the outdoor areas, positively spacious. We were travelling without a car and with the use of Uber and a few buses were able to get easily get everywhere we wanted. Trader Joe’s and Ralph’s are a walkable distance away via the Vermont St pedestrian bridge.
We did have an issue with the mechanism on the sofa bed failing, but appreciated Amanda’s fast response to provide an alternative.
Happy memories of evenings spent in the outdoor spaces here will linger.
Tons of space for two adults and two teens. Location really is close to everything you could want - beach, zoo, downtown, restaurants. Loved the rooftop for morning coffee and the patio table for when we wanted some shade. And best of all it’s stocked with all the little things that make a home away from home comfortable: beach towels, chairs and umbrella, a cooler and ice packs, toiletries, extra towels, and a great assortment of kitchen basics. Would definitely stay again!
We had a great stay. This property was as described, super clean, well stocked with all essentials and more. Location is great, walking distance to shops and restaurants and easy drive to coast, airport and other attractions. Will return.
