The apartment was very clean and comfortable king beds in all the bedrooms. Great location for nearby dining. The host Robert was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely be good with staying there again!

Excellent location for hospital visitors, its steps away. Short uber ride to many sites like Balboa Park, SD Zoo, and main Hillcrest strip. The parking space is definitely a plus because it is extremely hard to park in this neighborhood. The beds and pillows were comfortable and lots of extra towels were nice. Host was also very responsive.

There was some confusion about the gate code but another guest helped out my daughter by giving her the code. Otherwise, it was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering booking. Our group (three of us) was initially a bit hesitant since the property only had a couple of reviews, but it ended up exceeding all of our expectations.The location is excellent and made getting around San Diego very easy. The onsite parking made travel in and out seamless. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were especially comfortable, which made it feel like a true home away from home.This property is a great example of not overlooking newer listings—sometimes they turn out to be the best finds. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to future guests.
