Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W. 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for a spring break trip! We were a group of twelve (8 high school senior girls and 4 moms) traveling for spring break and rented the upstairs and downstairs units together. This was perfect for our group; our daughters loved that the bunk room with 4 queen-sized beds meant they didn't have to split up, and the 3 additional bedrooms left plenty of room for the rest of us. It was great having multiples of everything; 2 kitchens, 2 living spaces, 2 hot tubs, 2 laundry rooms, 4 bathrooms, etc. And the bathroom adjacent to the bunk room actually functioned as 2 bathrooms on its own, as it had 2 separate private showers and double sinks. Both units were very clean and organized, and well-stocked with dishes, cookware, towels, etc.One thing we didn't realize until we were there was how great the location actually was. Everything we did in the city was only 10-20 minutes away (including Coronado), and our treks up north were super easy from there as well (10-25 minutes to La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Solana Beach, etc). The easy walkability to Old Town was an added bonus; we walked there for ice cream one evening and dinner and a ghost tour another. And if you're like me and love a local coffeeshop more than making your own at home, there's a great little coffee stand only 5 minutes walk away :)Adam and Lulu were very prompt and responsive with communication. We had one issue with a lock that broke; they provided an immediate solution for a work-around (at midnight!) and had the lock replaced the next day. ##### Amy W.
