Excellent information and communication provided. Lovely appartment and not far to main attractions. Spiral staircase is a nice feature but beware you need to come down it in the night to use the toilet.

First time to San Diego…. My son is stationed with Navy at gate 6. The drive to pick him up and drop off in morning was a quick 10 minutes drive. This unit worked perfect for us to cook home meals and grill in back yard. We even had a fire and s’mores. We will be back! Thank you John

We were in unit 6. It was clean top to bottom. After a day or so, I began to notice the numerous examples of the owner’s attention to detail, things like having wall hooks for hanging towels or coats in convenient locations throughout and automatic lights in the closets. Very happy with this VRBO.

Overall we had a great stay. It is a lovely place. There are beautiful roses and plants. Great location with good freeway access. John, the owner was very proactive and responsive when we had a question. Contacted us prior to and a day after arrival to ask how things were going with our stay. Two grills available for grilling meat, etc.... Only negative(s)...not much really, 1) spiral staircase was a little small and could be difficult to climb or descend. We have a handicapped daughter who did not want to sleep upstairs in the loft because she was scared to climb the staircase. 2) Loft was nice but did have some low ceilings in some places. Hit our heads a few times until we kept reminding ourselves to duck when getting in and out of bed. These are not major issues...just have to take care so while climbing up and down the stairs and getting in and out of bed. Only mention them so those booking can be aware...3) As mentioned in other reviews parking CAN be a bit challenging, especially if you get back late in the evening. None of these are major detractors and we highly recommend John's property for a stay in San Diego. Property is close to downtown, Petco Park and the trolley stations so you can go anywhere covered by the trolley. Again...we highly recommend and will very likely use this property for our future stays (we travel to SD once or twice a year).

We liked the stay here, it is all they say it is, close to a lot of different things, to do and eat, clean and neat. Scott& Roxanne

We have so enjoyed our stay in Sherman Heights. This is a perfect location, we walked all over the city and felt very centrally located. We never had more than a 3 minute wait when we called for an uber and despite the homeless population of the this fine city, never felt unsafe. I would highly recommend this property and we hope to return. John is a most accommodating and thoughtful host. Be sure to hit the taco stand across the street!

Clean, well-cared for home near Gaslamp district and walking to harbor (a long walk) Only complaints were stained carpet and a bit noisy.

We enjoyed our stay in San Diego and the Condo was in a great location for what we wanted to do. John was very helpful with information on grocery stores and the beach locations. The only thing that would have been nice is to have 2 chair in the living room so the 4 of us could have watched a movie together. 2 of us has to set on the floor. That was hard for me. We would stay there again the next time we are in San Diego and bring chairs if none are provided. The hide-a-bed was not comfortable but are they ever. Thanks for contributing to an overall enjoyable trip.

Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children ages 10-16) enjoyed our stay very much. It was snug with 5 but we spent most of our time exploring the area, not in the rental. If two people don’t mind sharing a queen size sofa sleeper - two of our kids didn’t mind - it comfortably sleeps 5. John was very kind, checking in mid-stay to make sure our needs were met and offering his knowledge of the area. Our only regret was waiting until our last night to use the lighted gazebo in the back...we should have found that sooner!

The location was not bad. The house structure was unique. There were 6 rooms which the room has big loft where have a twin bed and a queen size bed. Everything nice and clean very pleased. One issue was parking. We almost never park our vehicle in front of house. We drove circle around block couple times to find open spot for parking.
