great for short stay

Kitchen and bathroom were well equipped, though no dishwasher. Host gave great directions to locate entrance. Neighborhood was homey and quiet. Only concern was the master bed was not very comfortable for our older bodies.

Great location minutes away from the Zoo and a bunch of restaurants. Space was clean and had all the amenities you need if you are traveling with kids. Host even provided a wagon for us to use while we went to the Zoo.

Great location!

Wonderful stay for our spring break in San Diego. This property is centrally located to everything we wanted to do... the zoo, sea world, Coronado, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, etc. Never more than a 20 min drive (as long as you don't hit traffic times). Home was comfortable and had everything we needed. My teens loved the roof even though the igloo was down due to a wide storm. Would for sure recommend!

Perfect stay!

My husband, our 7-year-old daughter and myself enjoyed this lovely house January 2025. It was centrally located by the airport, zoo, Sea World and La Jolla beach. It felt very safe to walk around the neighborhood and there is a delicious authentic Mexican restaurant about 15 minutes away on foot. The host was very accommodating. It was a great stay!

suited my needs

The property is just wonderful. The property is very comfortable. My son is in the Navy in San Diego. He wanted some home cooking. I made a casserole. The kitchen was stocked with all of the pots and pans that I needed. The only issue that we had was locating the entrance to the property. The entrance is in alley with a different number on the gate. I received my welcome packet on the day of our arrival. We had been traveling from Upstate NY all day. So we had the Vrbo address. Also, with it being dark outside, it was difficult to recognize the house from the pics that were posted on Vrbo. To be fair the host did mention the alley entrance with the different house number on the gate. After traveling all day , we just found that all very confusing. However, again, after we figured out the entrance, we had no other problems with the property. We enjoyed out stay there and would stay again if with visited San Diego again.

Great location, enjoyed our stay

The home is located exactly where we wanted to be to visit the museums and not too far to reach the beach. Was shocked how quickly we could get to the zoo. Probably saved us tons of time not having to navigate through CA traffic. We had a wonderful time and appreciated the house. The house is well setup and quite comfortable. It’s clean and nice to find someone that doesn’t cheap out on the little stuff such as toilet paper. The only slight issue was parking on the street but it’s not bad.

Fabulous stay in University Heights

We enjoyed every moment of our 6 night stay. Although it is a compact space, the well equiped casita felt quite roomy and with the outdoor areas, positively spacious. We were travelling without a car and with the use of Uber and a few buses were able to get easily get everywhere we wanted. Trader Joe’s and Ralph’s are a walkable distance away via the Vermont St pedestrian bridge. We did have an issue with the mechanism on the sofa bed failing, but appreciated Amanda’s fast response to provide an alternative. Happy memories of evenings spent in the outdoor spaces here will linger.

Above and beyond our expectation!

The place was more than enough for what we needed. Everything we needed was there. It was clean and well furnished. (The one item we noticed was the picture of the dome needs to be updated. The dome cover is not clear as shown but we could still stargaze from the front. We were not disappointed at all.) The rooftop patio including the dome was very enjoyable. The area was quiet and the weather was perfect. The location is also perfect. The owner left good guidelines for us and made themselves available if we needed anything. We will definitely come back!

A great landing pad to explore San Diego as a family

My husband, daughter (13), son (10) and I all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had everything we needed and plenty of space for our 4 night stay. The roof patio was a major highlight, and we enjoyed playing games as a family most nights. Centrally located and in a safe and quiet neighborhood, we found this to be an ideal spot from which to explore all San Diego has to offer!

The property was exactly as described. Perfect and plenty of room for my wife, 16 year old son and I. We enjoyed outside area to eat breakfast in the morning and rooftop patio to relax after running around. The best part is this space comes with all the amenities of home. The location is perfect. Close to many attractions… If you are thinking about booking, just do it before you miss out.
