Convenient/Comfortable Spot

Perfect space for a small family. The fact that it already had a pack n play and a high chair was a HUGE advantage since we flew down to San Diego trying to be as minimal as possible. Down the street from multiple local restaurants/bars/stores. San Diego is definitely a car destination, so I felt this location was perfect because anywhere we needed to go was typically only 10 mins away. Deborah was very responsive, and pleasant to work with

Immaculate spacious one bedroom in Normal Heights

I'm a mom... stayed here with my 22 year old daughter while we visited family in Normal Heights. This sweet little house is tucked behind a slightly larger house in a neighborhood at the center of San Diego. It has a small back patio that's nice for morning coffee and backyard grilling. The kitchen provides the basics and it has full sized appliances. My daughter planned to sleep on the living room sofa, which is very attractive, but she found the faux leather surface to be not to her liking, so she slept with me. The bed was plenty big and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!
