Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Location for Visiting All of San Diego! Originally I had booked a hotel for San Diego, but mid-California vacation I opted to cancel and book this VRBO. Best decision ever. The University Heights neighborhood is delightful, quiet and literally a super easy drive to anywhere you want to visit. We spent time in La Jolla, Ocean Beach, San Diego Zoo, Whale Watching, and a drive down to the border “just because.” The unit is small, but it was just me and my three daughters. The cost was just right for us. The backyard patio offers extra outdoor space to lounge and eat. There is a large walk-in closet in the master bedroom with ample storage space, hanging bars and a dresser. The bed was comfortable and had two bedside tables that were nice space to have. Two of my children slept on the futon bed while we were there. I wouldn’t recommend for four adults, but four including at least two children in your party will work just fine. The kitchen is amazing—everything we needed. There is a coffee shop right down the block, and a bunch of other stores and restaurants within very close walking or driving distance. I have very minor suggestions and thoughts on the property: I asked that the owners consider more shelving in the bathroom for personal items, as it is a pedestal sink. We were a party of FOUR female…lots of make-up and facial care (LOL). Also, the lighting in the bathroom was extremely poor and unable to rectified while we stayed. I’m sure they’ll address this, minor issue. The bathroom shower is amazing…very large. The parking situation can be a little hairy. There are two dedicated spots, but don’t come with a car bigger than a Honda Fit! We were driving a full SUV (rented) and couldn’t fit in the spaces. We were always able to find street parking, but at times we had to circle the block a couple of times and wait for someone to leave. When I was tired and wanted to be comfortable, that was annoying. I highly recommend this property if you want a more “home” feel stay (not a hotel)..options to cook, watch TV and relax in quiet. The neighborhood is incredibly safe. We loved San Diego! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon C.

The pictures accurately depict the great spot, which is plenty spacious and right in the heart of the University Heights area. The host was also extremely responsive throughout the stay. Perfect location (with super easy parking) and accommodation for those visiting SD and looking for a newly updated place in a safe neighborhood location, within walking distances to great restaurants/bars/coffee shops. ##### Jon C. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole L. Apr 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cutest UH place to stay! We had a wonderful experience staying in this cute University Heights duplex. The home was clean, comfortable and in an ideal location to enjoy the town plus the bonus of a dedicated parking stay was the best. We were within walking distance to everything and enjoyed getting up each morning and throwing on some flipflops and comfy clothes to go walk to some amazing coffee joints. On our walks the locals were so friendly with morning greetings and a warm smile. In the evenings we utilized the homes kitchen and enjoyed most meals in but would then walk to a local bar or brewery where we met more friendly locals and had interesting and fun conversations late into the night. The house had most everything you needed with a few basic exceptions for the kitchen that I would recommend adding. :) A can opener, a couple more knives (only found one large butcher knife), strainer, cheese grater, a couple more large serving bowls, measuring spoons, the pod style coffee maker was awesome but some larger coffee cups would be great. I made it work :) but the items listed would be so helpful for those of us that love to cook. All in all though, this place was great and the responses and customer service from the property managers was quick and always helpful. We would stay again for sure! Thank you for sharing this awesome place to stay while we enjoyed beautiful San Diego. ##### Carole L.
