This house is just as it is pictured. It is so comfortable and welcoming. It was extremely clean. The kitchen and bathroom were very well stocked. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. He took an interest in making sure we were happy with everything and offered suggestions on restaurants and must see beaches. It was wonderful to have a parking spot off the street. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and easy access to any road we needed in order to get to your destination. ##### Jane B.

This house was a gem, offering a fully stocked kitchen that made cooking a breeze. The comfortable and clean bedrooms were a delight, and the bathroom with a spacious area for getting ready was a bonus. What truly made this place special was its prime location within walking distance to an abundance of excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment options. I can't say enough about the host's exceptional hospitality. They were incredibly accommodating throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. We're already looking forward to our next visit, and I highly recommend this rental for anyone seeking a memorable San Diego experience. ##### Maeve J.

Dean was very easy to communicate with and answered our queries immediately. The place was very clean and tidy with everything you could possibly need, and more. Small touches like having dishwasher liquid and washing liquid etc made my holiday so much easier. The freshness of the bedding and towels was 'hotel standard' which was excellent. Overall, we loved our time in North Park, SD and this was made made possible by this great property and host. We would recommend Dean's house to stay in! ##### Debbie B.

I was here to move my daughter out of her freshman dorm (SDSU) and needed a home base close to campus, the storage unit, the airport, and fun stuff. This place was perfect. Most importantly, we wanted a clean quiet space for us to relax and for my daughter to finish an online exam. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. It is so comfortable and clean. We had plenty of space (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, big table, outdoor space) and felt right at home. We loved all the decor, the pops of color. Everything we needed was here. The host was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Kim L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosanna N. Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal Base for Exploring San Diego We really liked this property. When we opened the front door and turned on the lights, we were delighted that everything was just as pictured. The bungalow had just about everything for a comfortable five-night stay. I appreciated having filtered cold water in the kitchen, so I didn't have to buy bottled water. The washer/dryer came in handy, allowing us to do a load of laundry before heading to our next stop in SoCal. (The bathroom is on the smaller side, but it didn't pose any problem for us. If I remember correctly, there are no grab bars in or around the tub, which might be helpful information for those who would need support to get in and out of a tub.) If we weren't so busy sightseeing, we probably would have spent a lot more time in the lovely, tranquil backyard. The property is situated in a nice neighborhood, within walking distance to a number of good restaurants on Upas Street, and close to Balboa Park. It is also easy to get on the freeway, so it never took us long to go anywhere (Little Italy, La Jolla Cove, Coronado Island, etc.). Dean's communication was timely and clear. I'd definitely like to return to this property the next time we visit San Diego. ##### Rosanna N. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bridget & Chris F. Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Everything you need there. Clear instructions from arrival to departure. Location was perfect for us, 10 minutes to the zoo, 10-15 minutes to mission Beach, and 10-15 minutes to Coronado Island. Overall would highly recommend and will likely return for another stay! ##### Bridget & Chris F.
