Our home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood with long term neighbors who enjoy their privacy and quiet hours.
- Please be respectful to our neighbors and keep noise to a minimum from 10 PM to 7 AM.
- Please observe the maximum occupancy on your reservation. If you would like more than 4 people to occupy the home at ANY TIME during your stay, please confirm it with us before check-in, otherwise we will charge the reservation holder’s account $75 per person per night for the entire reservation for each unauthorized guest. Parties or events of any kind are PROHIBITED and will result in the immediate cancellation of the reservation. Please note that the premises have decibel noise and crowd detection devices installed to prevent unauthorized parties.
- Please follow the parking instructions in the Home Guide and our communication with you. Improperly parked cars may be towed.
- Illegal drugs and smoking of any kind are PROHIBITED anywhere on the property, including but not limited to tobacco, marijuana, cigars, cigarillos, pipes, kretek, electronic cigarettes, hookah, vape, nitrous oxide, salvia or opiates. Illegal drugs and smoking any substances will result in the immediate cancellation of the reservation and a $750 Excessive Cleaning Fee.

EXCESSIVE CLEANING POLICY
Checkout time is 11 AM, unless a Late Check-Out was requested and approved. Our cleaning company requires the entire time between bookings to prepare the home for next guests. We will charge the reservation holder’s account for a $75 Unauthorized Late Check Out Fee per every additional 30 minutes after 11 AM.
We love and respect our cleaners, and we believe that they should be paid a San Diego fair wage for all the hard work they do. Our standard Cleaning Fee is calculated to cover regular cleanings between most reservations. We ask that you please take out your trash and wash your dishes—these two small tasks allow us to keep our Cleaning Fee more affordable. Our Cleaning Fee excludes a few items, such as excessive spills, stains, or glitter and confetti removal. If our cleaners invoice us for Excessive Cleaning Fee after your stay, we will charge the reservation holder’s account for the same amount. The following list includes some of the most common Excessive Cleaning Fees that we have incurred in the past:
Major spills or stains on rugs, sofas, beds, sheets, comforters, or towels - $100 Rearranging furniture, removal of decorations, such as balloons or signs - $100 Glitter or confetti removal - $250 Biohazard cleaning of bodily fluids, such as urine, vomit, or blood - $250 Smoking of any kind - $750 Mailing lost-and-found items - $30 plus Shipping Cost
We hope that our rules are reasonable and fair to protect our home, our neighbors, and our future guests who might arrive just a few hours after you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or requests before booking.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Cute and comfortable
Very clean place to stay and comfortable. Could have used a few more towels and would suggest having a power strip for things close to the bed. Overall. Great place
Clean and comfortable place to stay. Location was ideal for airport, Recruit Depot and freeway. Stairs could be tricky for some but overall a great place.

Great location!
Adam’s place suited our needs perfectly. The location was better than expected. Not knowing the area and just going by what I read, this quaint little apartment was in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. And being close to the airport was a definite plus since we left so early in the morning. Sights and shopping were all within 20 minutes.
The apartment itself is small but perfect for a couple. The refrigerator is compact but, being a camper, this wasn’t an issue for us. The jacuzzi was an added bonus. The neighborhood is fairly quiet with the occasional train whistle or boat horn. Was not an issue for us as we’re used to sirens all day.
Adam was very accessible by email and quickly responded to questions. He was genuinely interested in how things went.
I would definitely recommend this rental for a single or a couple.
