Susana was an excellent host and I would highly recommend that anyone who is between choosing this listing and another to choose this one.

Susana did a great job outlining excellent cafes and bakeries in the area, providing excellent amenities as well as going out of her way toward our 5 year old (there were children's books left out for us and she even arranged for our daughter to meet a neighbor's little kitten - which she loved).

The location of this listing is perfect. It's a nice neighborhood. Close to I-5 (which makes getting anywhere in San Diego helpful). Walking distance to some great places on 30th st and university. And being so close to balboa park was nice too.

I feel when writing a review you need to find something that needs improvement but I can't think of anything.

The lack of kitchen might concern some but (personal bias incoming) there is so much good food in San Diego, to "waste" a meal cooking at your place is a shame. And the mini fridge and microwave were perfect for our leftovers or purchases from the farmers markets.

For those parents who are considering this listing but unsure about the blow-up bed: our 5YO said the bed was "magical" because she would fall asleep right away when laying on it. If your child is old enough for a real bed, you should be good.

We come back to San Diego every year for a family trip and we will likely check to see if Susana's place is available from now on!
