This was a cute little house. The shower was nice which is the only positive about this place. The oven door hinge was broken which did not allow the oven door to close properly. We did reach out to the host via VRBO messenger, and they never responded. The host completely ignored us. Parking was not available except street parking. The futon couch was not comfortable to sit or sleep on. One door to the bedroom had a missing door knob/handle and the other door was not properly aligned with the latch so the door would not stay closed. There wasn’t enough silverware. It’s shocking to me that the host doesn’t care to communicate or try to fix the issues in this house! Not having a parking space sucked!

The house was clean and cozy. We reached out via phone call AND Vrbo messenger with a couple question and they never got back to us. We asked about parking, the Wifi password, and how to get the bedroom fans to work. Overall it was fine. Just surprised we never got a return phone call or reply.

The place was okay, the neighbor was rude, the owners were very poor at communicating about literally anything… disappointed really. I had a safe place to rest my head at the end of the night I guess. Would probably find a different place to stay next time I come to San Diego. The owners have a lot to work on though.

This property could be a very good rental if it was maintained and if the Host would respond to inquiries promptly. Over a week before our check in day I messaged the host with specific questions about the condition of the property, especially regarding the clothes dryer and the oven door, but the owner never answered my questions. I also didn't get the property access information until 5 hours before check-in. The only good thing I can say about the condition of the property was it was clean. Unfortunately the property was not maintained. Previous reviews were accurate. The oven is hanging on is one good hinge and will freefall if opened. It could be very dangerous if the young child pulled it open onto themselves. The dryer does not dry. Doorknobs are hanging or missing. We had a bed collapse and had to hand screw the bed back together. The futon sofa was not fit to sleep or sit on. Many of the window blinds were missing parts and would not safely open without risking breaking the pull strings. The patio in the back was very nice, but a bit dangerous because a palm branch was hanging down and blocking the stair railing. It eventually fell down on top of the barbeque. These are only a few of the maintenance issues. I contacted the host at the end of our stay about my concerns. Hopefully he will make the necessary repairs especially the ones that have be mentioned since March.

Location is great, but communication and amenities need work.

Location is great, but communication and amenities need work. Location is centrally located to attractions - within 15 minutes to all places we wanted to explore and waking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. House is compact but worked out just fine for 2 adults and 2 teenagers for the week. Parking was also never an issue. For the negative, there were key amenities that were not working like the oven and dryer. I then communicated to the owner that they are not working (after food was already purchased to cook in over) and she said she was unaware, but that is not the case since looking at past reviews. We ended up checking out of the location early due to broken amenities and was supposed to get a refund of some kind, but have not seen that come through and they are not answering anymore communications. Going to file with VRBO.

Appliance issues!

Well to summarize our stay. The kitchen oven did not work,which we planned on using multiple days. The clothes dryer did not work after we washed our clothes. It ran but no drying. Would have been nice to discuss issues with owner and get a resolution or discount but he stated everything worked in the past. Owner just had no intentions of fixing anything or having someone look at appliances. Place is ok but if you need to cook or wash clothes, check out the other 100 places to stay. No permanent parking available, plan on a walk.

Nice house, management & household goods not so much

Nice clean house and good location. Cute, just like the pics. HOWEVER, there are no instructions at all for guests. This is a basic courtesy so guests can take out garbage or get on WIFI without contacting host. We had to message manager for all basic info. Broken oven...the door hinges are bent so door would not close plus it would not heat up. Kitchen was strangely stocked...3 random cinnamon Kpods for morning coffee, only one sad Christmas towel to dry hands or dishes (it's May, BTW), hide and seek for the knives (top shelf behind the coffee pods?). Bed sheets were a strange mystery fabric. No bedside lamps in either bedroom. Bathroom door handle falling off. Getting this home up to speed would be fairly easy for management. Start with replacing the stove, buying bedside lamps and a few towels for the kitchen. It's not a guest's job to send a to do list to the manager during their short holiday so we made do (and didn't cook our frozen pizza after seeing the oven was broken). Don't stay here if you have an alternative.

Perfect Getaway

The Craftsman bungalow was perfect place to stay in San Diego. It is centrally located and close to the all the attractions in San Diego. The property was very clean and had all the amenities needed for our 7 day stay. We loved the coffee shop that was walking distance from the property. The only issue we had was parking. This property does not have designated parking, it is street parking only. There were a couple of times we had to park far away. I highly recommend this place if you do not mind the parking situation.

12min to SDSU

House was well lit & easy to find at night. Front & back yards are beautiful. No dedicated parking & street parking was full when we arrived at midnight. No problem finding parking at other times though. Entry straightforward & easy. There were enough cooking supplies to make a dinner, keurig coffee maker with K cups, water from fridge door & plenty of ice. Mattresses are firm foam. Front bedroom offers a closet with some hangers & back bedroom has larger, open closet storage with more hangers. Bathroom has large shower with rain head, handheld & body sprayers. Bathroom stocked with extra toilet paper, 2 wash cloths, 2 hand towels & 4 thin body towels for 3 people for 2 nights. WiFi decent, quiet area with what seemed to be lots of options for food & drink.

Great neighborhood and home

This place could inspire a move to San Diego! It's an updated, tidy house on a quiet neighborhood street with ample parking. My son loved the spa-inspired shower. While I appreciated the kitchen and outdoor patio. Trendy restaurants nearby and proximity to SeaWorld and San Diego Zoo make it an ideal vacation package.
