We were looking for a location close to downtown/Balboa Park/airport, and this was just what we were looking for! A nice updated 2bdrm/1bath in a well kept neighborhood. A reserved parking spot was also a bonus. Excellent communication with the owners as well.

Great place to stay

Great cozy home convenient to all things San Diego. Short drive to Balboa Park, airport, and beaches aren’t too far. Comfortable beds. Kitchen stocked with the basics, plus snacks and drinks. Only issue I had was that there was no broom, vacuum, or mop so floors couldn’t be cleaned.

Great Location, Home, and Service!

Had my parents (and their Westie) in town for the weekend, and had a great stay here! Comfy beds, numerous streaming options, and super clean! Nice to come back to after a day of playing tourist AND perfect cozy space for a lazy day of streaming and eating. Would definitely stay here again. 🥰
