Pleasant stay

Property was clean and comfortable, well stocked with amenities. Appreciated no chemical smells from air fresheners or dryer sheets-nice bonus for one with chemical sensitivities. Nice neighbor hood, easy access to stores and eateries. Pleasant stay.

I have stayed at many airbnb and vrbo places. This place is by far superior. The photos don't show you how clean this place is. I mean CLEAN, like no grime in bathroom, dirt on the baseboards, dirt in the corners of rooms, windows sills. Even the faux plants look brand new. That is the atention to detail this place has. They need to give the housekeeper a HUGE raise. This adds to the feeling of comfort. The place is very well appointed and has everything you will need for a nice vacation. The bed is so comfortable and the couch is not saggy like some places I've stayed at. The place is very convenient to coffee shops and restaurants. You can walk to almost anything you would want to do like Balboa Park, and the San Diego Zoo. They do disclose that there is a restaurant in front of the unit. I'm very sensitive to sounds. There were some minor noise occasionally but it was only for a few hours and even then it did not bother me. The place is so nice and homey that it overshadoweds and sound you may hear. The sound is no different than staying anywhere else. It's a non-event. My only recommendation is some powder creamer or individual creamer cups. They have everything else you could need for the morning coffee including mutliple sugar packets and coffee pods for the Kerig. Its just a small detail that would be greatly appreciated. My overall rating is 10 out 10. You will not be disappointed. I will 100% stay here again.

Phenomenal Stay

The web description was spot on, so there were no surprises. I didn’t expect the professional/hotel-level comfort. It even smelled clean upon arrival. The location was within 20 minutes of everywhere I needed to go, and just 8 away from work so it was perfect. It was an excellent experience that really enhanced my work trip.
