8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2025
It was a perfect location for all the things we wanted to visit, at or near San Diego. The neighbor had a Sprouts Farmers Market, Tap Room Beer Co. all within walking distance. The house is older but clean and well maintained. Our family of seven was very comfortable there. It was unfortunate that the hot tub wasn't working, it would have been enjoyable in the evenings. All and all it was a great experience.

Our entire party loved the property. Walking distance to grocery and pub, close to all the San Diego hot spots! The separate bedrooms were great (queen size beds) and we enjoyed the outdoor space during the day (working grill, spacious seating area to enjoy the sun). The kitchen is FULLY stocked, so making a feast was easy. We found something new in the art every day and also enjoyed the selection of art books in the living room. Sarah (our host) was extremely helpful every step of the way. Definitely recommend this property!!!
