We definitely liked our 3 nights stay at this place. It was central for us and at a walking distance (less than 30 minutes) from everything we had planned to visit (Balboa park to seaport village). Everything was working fine and the kitchen is complete. The mattress is they exact one we have at home (kind of high end foam type). I would have like a thicker pillow, but I'm quite picky with pillows and usually bring mine, which was not possible this time. We definitely rate this place 5 stars. Actually, if we come back to San Diego one day, we would rent this place again. Now for the little things, since nothing is perfect, I will add the following 3 points to help more sensible people to make a clear choice. This as nothing to do with Gary (the owner) or the maintenance of the building. It is just facts that might help others. Point 1 - As said everywhere, you need to be aware that you will hear airplane landing between 7am and 11pm (that was not a surprise to us). Point 2 - You also need to know that you are not alone in this house (that we didn't know). All rooms seem private (at least #6 on the 2nd floor is) but it looks like there is 2 other rooms on the 2nd floor and 2 on the main floor. We did hear some sound coming thru the walls from the other rooms on the 2nd floor. Point 3 - This house is at a high point in San Diego, so you need to keep in mind that the walk back will not be flat (that was not a surprise to us). It's not that bad if you are used to walk, but for some it could be a little challenge.
