Great home in a great neighborhood! Very clean and bright. Private outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather. Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable memory foam beds and cozy bedding. Would definitely stay again!
The house is ridiculously cute, well kept, and tastefully appointed. The beds were very comfortable - so much so that I can’t recall ever having slept better at a rental than we did here. The home is conveniently located and in short walking distances to local restaurants and shops. I would DEFINITELY stay here again. Don’t hesitate. Book it!
