I live in SD and was displaced due to termite tenting for a long weekend. This place is so nicely done, well-decorated, super quiet and comfortable. It is well-stocked with pretty much everything you need to enjoy your time. I will definitely be back to experience a stay-cation in my own city. The location is spot on. Walk through a lovely neighborhood to Kensington Village for dining, shopping, groceries, movie theater, brewery, and lots more. ##### Trenton R.

We only spoke with the owner once, she is friendly and helpful. She offered us and our friends we were meeting some coolers and blankets for a football game. The home has plenty of towels, dishes, blankets and snacks. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Jennifer for your hospitality! ##### Debra S.

Everything was provided for a 'just like home' experience. Special touches including a welcome basket with an assortment of goodies and various beverages in the fridge were the icing on the cake. The host went above and beyond on every level: - always responsive, helpful and accomodating. I already have my next stay lined up! Kensington is a beautiful/safe neighborhood and the quality of my experience was enhanced by the location. This property is a rare find - enjoy! ##### Ann B.

Mar 13, 2017 #### Beautiful quiet space in the best neighborhood in San Diego This is a guesthouse that is basically the most deluxe master bedroom you could ever want. A bed, bathroom, closets, plus a kitchen. Hundreds of DVDs to watch. It is a very very comfortable space. The owner is friendly and generous - she left coffee, cream, fruit and flowers for us. I cannot recommend this booking highly enough. I just left and I already want to go back. I will definitely return. ##### Claire R.

Bed very uncomfortable,slopes down from middle, pillows very hard.Shower not constant temperature,fluctuates from cold to hot to cold. On morning of last day woke to find small ants crawling on table. Very confined space. Would never book here again. Property looks much nicer in online listing as compared to reality. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kari S. Apr 18, 2019 #### Nice, but not private I will start with saying a different type of guest would have a different experience than we did, but we booked this property because it was advertised as "very private" and the picture supports the advertised privacy. The yard was lovely and would have been enjoyable, but it was not disclosed that it is a shared back yard with little to no privacy. The studio is very cute, but cramped with too much stuff. We did not book this as a vacation but rather needed someplace to stay for a few days so without the option to enjoy the back yard or even keep our door open it felt very confining. There was no space in the studio to eat other than on the bed or in sling type chairs, not ideal for eating when you are half reclined. If the door was open the house dog was free to wander in to the space. The internet was inconsistent, we had to use our own hotspots for working, and we could not get through an entire tv show/movie without it freezing up. ##### Kari S.

The yard is privately owned, fenced & a great place to have morning cup of coffee.. overall we really enjoyed our stay here..thanks much for the recommendations to "good food" in the area!

The gate was a little clunky getting in and out but the owner was working on a fix. You can park in the driveway but I found street parking plentiful. The space had everything I could need or want. It’s a studio apartment but doesn’t have that feeling. There’s a couple of lounge chairs inside, the large bed is quite comfortable, and the bathroom has a great shower. The backyard is super cute and a nice place to hang out. I will definitely come back. ##### Jennifer R.
