3 is not a Crowd - Great San Diego Spot!

Finding accommodations for 3 people is not easy! Especially not when the is snoring involved! This charming place has 3 large bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. Great for 3 women or 3 couples. Central location. Close to the airport. Easy street parking. Well appointed. Easy access. Everything was just great! Would re-book for sure!

Awesome find!

In town for the SD rnr marathon. Couldn't ask for a better location. Bankers hill! 7 blocks from the start, 1.5 miles from the finish. We booked it inclusive of our pet, but unfortunately he passed away the week prior, still if you have a pet, this is still a great place for them.

Very cozy older home. After being out and about in a very busy city all day, it was great to come home to a house that felt like home.
