This charming condo was a joy to come back to each day after enjoying ourselves in San Diego. The location was convenient to everything we did. The large screen smart TV was great for chilling in the evening. If you’re a musician, this place might just inspire you to pick up one of the guitars and write that hit song! Lacey has furnished “The Pad” with an eclectic collection of antique furniture, which gives the place great character. Not fussy, “this is going to break if I sit on it” type of stuff, but rather comfortable, inviting pieces. The Pad is not a large place, but we found it quite suitable for two adults and two teenagers. The kids enjoyed the pool while the adults sat in the hot tub. The on-site laundry was very convenient as you can pay for the washers and dryers with an iPhone app if you don’t have quarters. We bought tickets for the zoo, and realized they had to be printed out. Luckily there was a printer in the condo that I could connect to from my iPhone. That was so helpful! The owner, Lacey Younger, was an excellent hostess. She was quick to get back to us via text if we had any questions, and even offered some good advice for restaurants and attractions. From now on, this will be our “go to” spot when we visit San Diego. ##### Charles M.

Only thing I would say is to be mindful! Lots of delicate items like guitars and glass decorations in the house to be mindful of . Honestly thought , if your thinking about this place , book it , it was great! ##### Maryam G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason D. 7 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great place to get away!! My family has stayed at a lot of places, and this one took one of the top favorites. Just perfect for our family and only a short drive to the beach. I communicated with the owner prior to and it was everything (and more) that she promised. Clean, comfy, and she even had 'treats' available. Some places we've gone, they had very little in way of 'supplies', but it had everything and more! The owner defiantly knew how to take care of her renters!! I would highly recommend it to any couple or family with a few kids. ##### Jason D.

The directions to the place were clear, and the keys were waiting with some instructions. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the shared jacuzzi multiple nights. WiFi worked well..multiple TVs were present and seemed to work well (we ended up not watching anything beyond 5 minutes of local news). The owner was responsive to our questions. Overall a good experience. ##### Peter B. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven L. 31 May 2019 #### Great musical atmosphere Really enjoyed the ambiance.
