Comfortably furnished and well stocked with all the necessities. Nancy was a delight to interact. Would recommend without hesitation."

"Bill and Tiffany were exceptional hosts! I stayed at their apartment attached to a historic mansion in San Diego, and it was an incredible experience. Tiffany arranged discounted zoo tickets for me, and Bill went the extra mile by spending additional time to ensure the hot tub was sparkling clean. The property itself was amazing, located in a great neighborhood. I enjoyed grilling in the backyard every night. Even though it was just me, they treated me like royalty. I wish I could give them ten...

"We had planned a trip to Seawirld San Diego for 2 days. Decided to add the Midway Museum in our first day. Great location for Seaworld and Downtown activities. The house was just as advertised, the Host brought over a propane cylinder right away when we had noticed that the existing one was empty. She was very helpful with ideas to do and the house cooled quickly in the early evening by just opening windows. Had anexcellent time. With look up this listing again on any return trips to San Diego."

"We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The space is clean, modern, and well equipped for living like you're at home. Check in and out were really easy and all of our communication with the host was done via text, which is my preference (they are happy to speak on the phone as well). The property manager responded within a matter of a minute or two each time I reached out; can't stress enough how pleased I am with their responsiveness and communication. The location is loud due to it's...

"My sister and I stayed at the house for a week, this was our first trip to San Diego. The house was BEAUTIFUL! It was well stocked, had a lovely and very private backyard, and plenty of space to relax. The beds were so comfortable and the home was so cozy. We were centrally located to all the things we wanted to experience, Coronado Island, Old Town, Little Italy, La Jolla, and Balboa Park to name a few. Lael could not have been kinder or more accommodating. We will definitely stay at his place...

"We had a few hiccups along the stay, and Lael, the host was very responsive in minutes and was able to help us solve any issues. The only thing i would note is that the shower in the master bedroom is missing the glass panel that helps keep water in the shower.... there are only shower curtains. They do provide ample amount of towels so there's no issue with the floor being wet or slippery. Still overall a great stay."
