Prime location and excellent hosts
Efrain was an excellent host! He followed up shortly after I checked in to esure that we had everything we needed. If I messaged him he would responded quickly. The house was very clean and exactly as described. The area is safe and quiet. Parking on the street is easy if you do not want to park in the garage. Perfect location for a stay in San Diego! Would highly recommend this home. We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfection!
I rented this home for a week long family visit to San Diego. 3 adults and a 6 year old. The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to walk everywhere. Coffee shops down the street, Balboa Park and the Zoo. We rented a car to do the outlying things but with all this quaint little neighborhood affords you don't really need to. The owners were very attentive when asked questions and helped with a couple of challenges we have due to food allergies. A sweet little spot for anyone planning a trip to SD.

Vacation
My family and I were in San Diego for vacation and decided to get a Vrbo instead of 2 separate hotel rooms. The house was easy to find. The check in was very easy as well as the check out process. We had a good time and enjoyed the peacefulness of having a house. The only downfall was the lack of water pressure when taking a shower and the house could use a very deep cleanining.

Great location & responsive hosts!
The property was as advertised in a great neighborhood and location. Garage was very nice to park off the street. At one point we needed some kitchen supplies, and the host was very responsive. We were happy with the stay!
