Great location

Loved the location of this property, walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, bars and markets. The property itself is a little dated, but comfortable. We had several issues with the lock box malfunctioning but was able to get help on the phone via the property management company. Would stay here again.

Terrific location and comfortable home

We came to San Diego Daft Christmas with our son… Who lives in San Diego.The house was perfect for our needs. The location was fantastic. Communication and check-in/check out was seamless. I really appreciated the warmth and immediate feedback I received from the host. There were no concerns at our stay at all. It was delightful to be one block away from Little Italy. Area is clean and many restaurants within walking distance. Bets were super comfortable.

Older home located in the heart of Little Italy. Great location! Not great response from Vacasa (property manager) when the AC busted. Garbage Disposal had a nasty smell coming from it when we first got there.

San Diego Little Italy with family

Very nice property, well located on a quiet block in a very active area with lots of restaurants. Also close to the waterfront and easy access to freeway to visit other locations such as the zoo and seaworld. House was bright and clean, lots of charm and roomy. Everyone enjoyed our stay.

Little Italy-big fun

Right in the middle of Little Italy, but still manages to be quiet and relaxing.. It had all the amenities I expected and more. Everything was within easy walking distance, include the pickup spot for the Hop on Hop off Trolley. The parking spots were a real plus as the street parking was limited in the area. The deck was great for people watching and the garden was beautiful and a nice place for relaxing. Don’t miss the farmer’s market a block away on Wednesday and Saturday morning.
