This casita is decorated beautifully, has the essentials you need and has an adorable private patio area. My best friend and I wanted a weekend away and our stay here was exactly what we hoped it would be! The Casper mattress in the bedroom was wonderful, the patio space was perfect for drinking our morning coffee and the kitchenette had all the basics that we needed. Ryan and Lisa were also incredibly responsive and gracious enough to let us check out a little late due to my delayed flight. This rental would be absolutely perfect if you’re attending an SDSU football game, graduation, etc. Thanks to Ryan and Lisa for a great stay! ##### brandi w.

It’s well-designed, comfortable, and had everything we needed. I also felt safe in this neighborhood of young families. One of the owners happens to be the architect of this gem. What a great tiny house. It was perfect for me traveling with my two kids under 12, and the private back patio made the living space seem larger. I had stayed in North Park, Bankers Hill and Mission Hills before, and I felt great in this neighborhood as well. I extended our stay in San Diego and would have booked here again if they had availability. We will be back! ##### Kari D.

What a wonderful space and attentive hosts! I stay in a lot of VRBO's and this space is by far one of the best dressed and beautifully maintained. The neighborhood is amazing and the private back patio is fantastic - 5 STARS ALL AROUND! I had to reach the owners for a simple check in detail and they responded immediately! I was traveling alone and was considering how safe I might feel while there - TOTALLY SAFE! My college kid did stay a night on the pull-out sofa which was very comfortable for him. My only wish, being a pale rainy NW girl, was for a shade umbrella for the big sunny back patio space. Regardless, I will definitely come back here! ##### Heather M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022
