Nice kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer. Lots of steps so be aware and 1 bedroom without windows. Good communication with owner. Nice location with great view. ##### MaryLou K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan T. May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Not it’s own property I feel like the listing wasn’t super accurate as to the rental being one of 4 other units on the property, and there being a full time rental on the floor below. The pictures make it look like its own property. Everything turned out fine and I don’t think there were any issues with the other tenants, but it made us worried about bothering other people. The spot is beautiful though and very clean. ##### Stefan T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doreen S. May 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location, location, location Recommend this cute place if you want to be close to airport, downtown, zoo, Balboa Park, etc. nice and quiet. Stairs down to the unit are no joke so pack light! Laurie was very kind and conscientious when our VRBO communication was faulty. She resolved the matter immediately and all was good. ##### Doreen S.
