Relaxing, charming place
We had a lovely stay here - proximity to Balboa meant there was plenty to enjoy car-free. The place was clean and a very nice space. We especially loved the little patio where we could see an avacado tree, lemon tree and lots of beautiful greenery. We'd stay here again!

Get Comfortable
This sweet little apartment is straightforward and cozy; if you're seeking a place, however, for a louder bunch, you may want to consider a different abode. However, we'll keep this one in mind for ourselves in the future -- it suited our needs well, and the locale to Balboa Park is prime!

Nice property in lovely neighborhood.
Overall the property was nice and was in a lovely and safe neighborhood. We stayed for 2 nights and it was comfortable. However when we 1st entered the property, there was a really overwhelming musty smell. We had to open all the windows to get rid of that smell. All in all.. good value for money except the one problem I mentioned.

Perfect Place for Our Weekend Getaway
This VRBO was everything we needed for a long weekend! It was very generously and thoughtfully appointed with a basket of snacks and some drinks in the refrigerator, and the bathroom was well-stocked with enough toilet paper for our trip. The place was tidy and located near the things we wanted to do. Something that the listing left out is how incredible the view from the patio is! Definitely take the time to have your morning coffee while enjoying the lush canyon, playful birds, and gorgeous avocado tree. We wouldn't hesitate to come back!
