San Diego Visit

This was a perfect property, just 5 blocks from where my son and his wife live and very private. The place was neat, clean and exactly as the owners represented. My wife and I will be going down to visit at least 2-3 times per year and hope to stay at the same place.

Cute apartment. Only 5 units. It’s walkable to beaches but not recommended after a long day in the sun. It would be up hill with all your belongings. Accommodations were average. Thin pillows. No sheets for the hide-a-bed. Very little cookware if you planned on making meals. Plenty of towels but a little too much bleach. Lots of shops (grocery too), restaurants, and tattoo shops around. Awesome little ice cream place around the corner. Street parking wasn’t bad. Mostly quiet at night.

Spring break in Pacific Beach

Really enjoyed my stay. The local area is great, with the beach and stores, restaurants, etc. in walking distance. Public transportation is convenient for exploring further away. The apartment was very nice and comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Best location, not super clean

It did was it was supposed to but there were old contact lenses left all over the house and none of us wear contacts, lots of spider webs, dust and dirt. It was fine because we were never there and the location was great but we never felt clean

Great Sister Retreat!

The apartment was exactly as described - perfect size for 2 people. Easy to find parking on quiet street and so nice to walk into the private courtyard to the apt - gave a great feeling of privacy as well. The apt was clean and included all the basics needed for the weekend, living room furniture may need a little updating soon, but the bed was super comfortable! Open both doors for cross-breeze, and close bed door w/air conditioning for max comfort! Grocery stories walking distance, and a great bike rental as well. 10 min walk to either ocean or bayside. Will definitely return to this rental!

Convenient and easy street parking.

The place met most of our needs. I recommend cover on sofa bed mattress be replaced. It was very dirty with large sweat stains. Also upgrade bath towels. They are old and not of good quality.

First time in San Diego.

Found ourselves centralized for any entertainment that we could imagine. From the zoo to some of the best chicken wings ever and then shopping in Coronado. Coming back to the comfort of our apt.was a great . our vacation was more than we expected.

If it was nearer the beach I would stay here again

I had issues with the screen door lock although eventually realised there was nothing wrong with it and was very secure. Totally disagree with another review that said she went to a hotel because of the door. I was on my own and felt totally safe. Didn't hear from the property manager until late that evening and I think that was only because I was sat outside when he came home. But Mike the owner got back to me straight away and explained the door issue. I would certainly recommend staying here, very clean, quiet safe neighborhood, and all in all I had a fantastic week. Could have been more sun but don't suppose I can blame a human for that!

Did not even stay there.

This place looked cozy and cute but was not. First, I had to walk 2 blocks with my suitcase because there was very little to no street parking available. Getting in wasn’t a problem but, when I got in, there was a crummy couch and a smallish tv in the living room. There was a security screen door with a lock, but the front door had none. I just did not feel safe thee so I left and found a hotel. Expensive mistake!

Perfect for the two of us.

Close to where we needed to be. Liked a separate bedroom. Spider webs in bathroom and not so clean rug in front of the tub. Rug in the living room needs a good vacuum ing. Mattress pad on the bed. Other areas were spotless and neatly organized.

Good location

Very good location, able to walk lots of places. Nothing fancy but met essential requirements. Needs improvement: Bed frame creaks whenever you roll over. Both bedroom mattress and pullout mattress are worn out. Pullout mattress did not have a fitted mattress sheet. Needs more linens for pullout bed. Overall ok place, with improvements would see a much higher rating.
