NOISE & GATHERINGS Due to the residential nature of our neighborhood and out of respect for our neighbors, we have a strict policy against social gatherings or any other loud/disruptive activities, especially after 9pm.

Excellent location, easy access
The home was in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean, modern with a craftsman home feel. We were able to enjoy some excellent food nearby (We recommend the Great Maple House for breakfast). All in all, great experience in San Diego.

Perfect place for family gathering!
Our family loved this house for our 7 night stay in San Diego to host our daughter’s baby shower! It was warm and spacious and very comfortable and well stocked. Responses were very fast and thorough when questions came up! Location: it is very near a cute breakfast spot with great coffee and homemade pies, and there is a CVS around the corner. Easy access to Hillcrest and North Park and the freeway. Highly recommended!
