Clean and well equipped!
We had a great time staying here! Location was close to many different activities, house was very kid friendly, only thing to mention would be to heed the warning about no AC, it got a little toasty for us, but then again we’re used to colder temperatures where we are from! Thanks again!!

Family Trip to San Diego
We had a wonderful time staying here. The house itself was perfect for our group of 5 (2 sets of adults and a toddler). The house had everything we needed for our son, and was perfect place to hang out for the adults. It was great to be within walking distance of the Normal Heights restaurants, bars, and coffee shops and it was an easy drive to all of the things we wanted to do (especially to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo).

Good place to stay
A great location that felt safe and had easy access to the highways and anywhere we wanted to go. The house was decorated well and had everything we needed (including extra towels!). But the housekeepers could do a better job (dirty tub/shower and some deep cleaning). It was wonderful having the 2 king beds and 1 queen bed for our family so our kids didn't even mind sharing a bed.
The front bedroom window screens need replaced or fixed too. When we opened those windows we ended up with little bugs all over the room and had to vacuum them up. We never had any problems with that in the other rooms. Two of the lights in the bedrooms didn't work either but we think that was because the remotes for the light/fan combo were dead. I let the host know so hopefully that problem will be fixed soon.
Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend this location and host.

Great house Great location
This little house was perfect for our family of four. Each kid got their own bedroom and was very comfortable throughout our week long stay in San Diego. The house is centrally located and was about a 20 minute drive everywhere we wanted to go. Great Little neighborhoods all around as well. The host did a great job at making a house comfortable with all the little amenities one could need, highly recommended

Quick Visit
Stayed here with my family (2 adults + 2 adult kids) in June to tour SDSU. Parking space was a plus & location made it easy to walk to the many shops/restaurants nearby with a short drive to Vons down the street for groceries. Had easy access to freeways and getting to and from certain areas were very easy. Quiet neighborhood & home was equipped with everything needed. No AC but ceiling fans helped a lot with additional fans supplied throughout the house. Lots of room for everyone to have their own space. Took adjusting with all of us sharing 1 bathroom but we made it work. Lots of clean towels provided & the washer/dryer was so convenient! Even the welcome card was a cute touch and made us feel special. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here!

Great size
This house in Normal Heights was the perfect size for our family of 5. It had everything we needed and was in a good location. A few blocks from the house there are many restaurants and places for libations. It was about 15 minutes to the beaches and downtown area which is good so you’re not always surrounded by the tourist scene. The only downfall was that the air conditioner did not turn on. I’m aware that it is not always needed in San Diego, but the weekend we were there was a warm one. Overall, it is a great place and very accurate to the listing.
Great place. Safe and quiet neighborhood. The house is clean and has everything you need. Beds are spacious and comfortable to sleep on. Location is perfect since it’s not too far away from the major things to do in SD. Overall really great experience and great for a family stay.

Visiting our Son Stationed at miramar
A beautiful well maintained very clean home with all the amenities you would want. Loved the big L shaped couch and cozy blankets for curling up and relaxing with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Enjoyed the private backyard with table chairs, two lounge chairs, and a gas grill. Was a great place to hang out and enjoy the outdoors. Also private parking along side of house was a plus. Great location and close to a lot of the local attractions. Recommend the Rabbit Hole restaurant just a few blocks away. Utilized Uber a couple times and they were great as well and not overly priced. Will definitely stay here again.

Everything was there as needed. Home away from home. Was a little hot with no A/C. It's not bad at night. During the day it was pretty hot. We did buy a standing fan so that helped out. Only suggestions is to have a couple of standing fans for the guests for the summer time. Otherwise it was great! Thank you!

Great Experience!
My boyfriend and I enjoyed a great stay here. The house is stocked with anything you may need for a long term stay. It’s great if you are planning on eating most meals at home. It felt as if I were cooking in my own kitchen. The house itself is very clean. The beds were all very comfortable. And it was nice having a small outdoor space. It’s also walking distance from a few good restaurants and bars. Only complaint is that it was hard to find a spot to park our second car at times. Thanks for having us!
