Nice property, great location. House is on a steep hill, think San Francisco so parking may be a challenge if you are not used to this. We came home late one night and all street parking was taken up so we had to street park a couple of blocks away.

Friend's B-day Padre game Sleepover

Loved our stay here and can't wait to come back! Six of us slept here very comfortably and we had everything we needed. We utilized the BBQ and enjoyed the city under the stars without having to go out and spend a ton of money. It was a quick inexpensive ride to the Padre game and back. Our host had the perfect amount of communication. Can't wait to stay here again!!!

Quick stay for MCRD Grad

Property was clean, well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. It was a tight fit for our family of six, but we knew that going into it. Michael was extremely communicative throughout our stay. Easy access to the freeway and a quick trip to MCRD. Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay.

It met all of our needs!

It was the perfect set up; a senior citizen Aunt, two adults and an 11 yr old. It was a blended group, which included my aunt, my son, his dad (my ex) and I. We absolutely needed 3 bedrooms. Having a master bathroom for my Aunt with a step in shower was perfect for her. The other two rooms were perfect for everyone else. After a long, long day that started at Anaheim, went to Universal Studios all day and ended in San Diego, a helpful guide for places to eat and shop was so welcomed! Pizzeria Luigi was opened late and they were awesome. We had pizza, salad and a meatball roll and all of it was delish. I can’t tell you how welcomed it was to have a washer and dryer available to use, we were running out of clothes and returned home with mostly clean laundry! We had a perfect kitchen to use and there was nothing that we were missing when we stayed. Michael was incredible with communication and answering questions. I wish that we had more time in San Diego. We just didn’t have enough time in the city. Highly recommend the Go City app and if you have AAA the office is nearby and has maps and was helpful. Only two things to mention: the street is VERY steep and if you get back late, you might need to park further away and walk. We were lucky that only one night we had to park further away. It’s street parking but we were able to find parking almost right outside The front door most of the time. I would def stay here again! Thanks Michael!
