"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...

"Really nice black bottom pool that stayed really warm, the backyard is sheltered from the wind and gets nice sun throughout the day. The game room was super fun for our kids and the property is well appointed. It didn’t have wine glasses and I sent the property manager a note asking if they were somewhere I couldn’t see and they dropped off some new ones since they weren’t there, same day. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels too"

"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."

"The VRBO was nice and spacious! Perfect for a quick turnaround trip! During our stay there were several cobwebs and the main areas were clean but there was alot of dirt in corners I’m assuming they think no one is looking at. That’d be my only criticism. Other than that they have a lot of entertainment options and a nice back yard! They were also dog friendly which was perfect! I would stay again."

"Close to Little Italy and to my daughter’s place. So that was nice. Farmers market and all the places to eat at were amazing. Daily runs to the pier. Some real steep hills though toward Balboa. Otherwise great location except for the noise when sitting out in the back but enjoyed watching the aircraft at the airport."

"We stayed for a week in this three-bedroom-two-bathroom condo-type place in North Park. The place is modest - very functional but not luxurious, Louis was an excellent communicator throughout our week. The place was reasonably well equipped and clean. The TV in the main room struggled a bit with Netflix and Amazon. There are two really great things about the location - it is very convenient to the highway system and to the airport. There's a Starbuck's steps away, a CVS, and a Baron's just a few...
