Cozy Cottage in the Heart of San Diego
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (78)
"Communication with the host and check in/check out were very easy. You could see into the house from the doors of the guest house but they put blinds on the guest house doors in case you wanted privacy. The iron was leaky and the plugs on the power strip that was left of the bed did not work. The location was great and we could walk to food/public transportation."

Loved the games they had, even though we brought some to play. Only “complaint” we would even have, which is NOT a complaint at all is it would be nice if there was more light in the living room. We will definitely stay here again!!!"

"Close to Little Italy and to my daughter’s place. So that was nice. Farmers market and all the places to eat at were amazing. Daily runs to the pier. Some real steep hills though toward Balboa. Otherwise great location except for the noise when sitting out in the back but enjoyed watching the aircraft at the airport."

Beach Front Paradise - Entire Condo- Crystal Pier
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (48)
"Everything about our stay was perfect. The location. The rooms, the kitchen, the view! It was just a beautiful home. The bunk beds allowed for my 3 teens to share a room but not share a bed. The closeness to the beach allowed for easy access back and forth to the beach. Loved that it was so close to all the restaurants and shops. I would stay here again f we came back to san diego. The owner has a great manual for any questions/ recommendations for places to go. But really I would just recommend...

"There is no better view than the living room full of windows. The weather was not great, but we could watch boat traffic, seals, dolphins and fishing birds from our sofas! It was a little bit further to the beach than I had anticipated. Unfortunately, there was a lot of construction on the road outside the unit and we lost water a couple of times — not the owners fault, but a noisy inconvenience during our stay. The two dining spaces were great. We had games at one and meals at the other....
