Clean & comfortable, VERY quiet, even being next to freeway. I slept very well. The parking situation was less than ideal, that & the stairs I would not recommend for heart patients/elderly, anyone with balance issues. Also, the a/c did not have a control in the room as far as I could tell, but being as it's San Diego, it didn't get too hot, just a little stuffy. It was worth it for the price & sleep for me.

This place needs work

Pros: It was clean Con: -AC control password protected.-TV in room had WIFI connection issues.-The door in the room had a big chunk missing out of the corner which something could easily crawl in-The floor in the room was collapsed in a had sharp pieces of wood sticking up and the bigger part of the hole was trying to be covered with a rug.-I was never given a contact person.-I was told that I would be able to park in the driveway and when I did I was asked to move and when I asked to park behind them they said NO because they had 2 other vehicles with them which in turn made me have to find parking about 1/2 a mile away and walk back.-The apt above us had a child running and stomping around late at night and very early in the morning.-No extra towels or sheets.-The one trash can had no bag in it and stunk-It did not feel very private

Very nice place

Very cute, could have comfortably stayed for an extended stay. Manager was extremely helpful. **The negatives: This place is down several steps behind/under the main house and has minimal parking in front, parking is on a hill. This property is not for someone with mobility issues.

Not as told

Condiments was only 1 set of towels x3. We where there 5 nights/6 days. A/C is controlled by owners. Extremely hot. Never got cool. Said couch & futon. Not comfortable at all. No where to sit comfortably. Two TV’s but nothing to watch. Didn’t watch no tv. Needs kitchen sink to wash dishes. The stairs were terrible for us. No handrail & several. Not good for elderly or handicap, plus carrying luggage up & down several steps. Bad parking. Very unhappy. Not as advertised. Hidden fees etc.

Adequate accomodations

Smaller than I imagined from the pictures. Steps are difficult to manage without a handrail especially for the balance challenged. Simple and clean.
