Great place, well run
We've stayed here a couple of times now. Nice place. Wish it had a parking space, but you can't have everything in life. Owners are great. They let us check out late because they didn't have anyone coming in behind us, and when there was a mix up with the cleaners prior to our arrival, they fixed it asap and comp'ed us the night. Can ask for fairer than that.

Great space and gave us a short drive to many great places. Plus having a space for our kids was great too. The owners were easy to communicate with and got back to us quickly. We even walked to Petco Park, even though the downtown walk was a little long and had some issues.

John’s place was fairly spacious for 2 people and John was easy to get in contact with, which we appreciated. However, we had issues throughout our stay with the wifi - John did try fixing it by resetting it however, it would only work for an hour at a time and then need to be reset again. We did reach out to John to help trouble shoot (and he always responded right away) but after the third day of having the issue just gave up. The street the house is on is also quite loud so you can’t sleep with the windows down. Thankfully the rooms do have AC (which is very loud but helps drown out the street noise).

Perfect Guesthouse
My family and I were in San Diego to witness my grandson graduating from the Marine’s boot camp. Our experience was absolutely perfect. This property is so cute, immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable, The owners stayed in contact with us via email making sure we were comfortable and to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!!

Clean and Comfortable
The property is excellent. Everything we needed was available. They even came by on the same day to refill our soap when it was empty. The property is safe and gated. The outdoor spaces on the porch and the patio were very nice and we used them quite a bit. The location and proximity to everything was wonderful, however the neighborhood (even though the houses are beautiful, well maintained and historic) are surrounded by homeless. Through no fault of the owner, we did not feel comfortable walking around the area very much. I understand that the situation is much improved from previous months and I hope that it is a trend moving in the right direction. If you have a car rental, there was plenty of parking and eliminated the need for walking around the neighborhood.

Cute House close to Downtown
Yes I would I recommend this house. We enjoyed it and were happy with the property. The main house, which sits in front of the rental property, is a lovely restored home from probably the early 1900s. The photos of the house perfect, you get what you see in the photos. House is located on a main street so it is easy to get to downtown and to the major expressways for day trips. The neighborhood is old, with two beautiful churches within a block of the property. It appears that people are trying to renovate this area as some homes are nicer than others. Parking is on the street, that kinda made me nervous but it worked out OK. I wish they would have had central air in the house, only the bedrooms had window units. So there was noise from them. I had an issue with the remote control for the AC, I texted the property manager and it was fixed right away. All in all it was a good trip and we are glad we got to stay here. Plus the price was right.

Overall it was lovely. I wouldn’t stay again in the summer unless you’re down to share beds. Only the two bedrooms have air conditioning, and the third bed is in the living room. It was uncomfortably warm trying to sleep in the living room, especially since opening the windows was not an option due to people from other units smoking on the patio right outside the window. Aside from that, would absolutely stay again.

Very clean property. There were cooking utensils and supplies and even shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Short walk to Walmart and other convenience stores. We always found parking relatively close, sometimes just around the corner, but usually right in front of the house. There are some homeless people in the area, but I never felt unsafe. The air conditioner works but they’re noisy and one remote doesn’t like to work. Those were both really minor for me, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
