Nice neighborhood location
The property was clean and comfortable. I didn’t even notice the beautiful deck out back bc we were busy and the weather wasn’t great but it would be a great spot to hang out.

Obsessed and in love with this home.
This house was amazing. The beds were insanely comfortable. Clean and new and bright and happy. The back yard was a dream to relax after a work day.
I wish I came to San Diego more often because I would stay in the home every single time. Oh and the owner was so lovely and kind to communicate with.
