Our host was very easy to correspond with through text as needed , Being accommodating and timely with any questions we may have had.
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
The home was very comfortable, clean and as expected. The only thing I can say is that the internet was not good. So the TV and laptops didn’t work well. But overall I would definitely give this a good rating.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We had a great time in this home. Close to Balboa Park and a playground a short walk away for the kids. The pack-n-play was a lifesaver, thank you!
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
The house was in a great location, walkable neighborhood and lots of food choices. It is in the flight pattern for the airport and the steps up to the house were a little more challenging for an older couple with suitcases. Additionally, although we were asked to honor quiet time, the neighbors woke us up two nights in a row at 2:00 in the morning. Excellent communication with owners and easy check in/check out.
