We stayed for 3 nights and for the most part it was a lovely trip - the treehouse is a truly unique experience (we particularly loved the outdoor shower), and the house was located only about 5 minutes from downtown San Diego. Other areas were a short drive away - we had a rental car with us (always pretty easy to park) but an uber or lyft would work just as well for those without a car. Central San Diego does have public transportation as well although this was further away. We found check in and check out extremely easy and were impressed with the amount of information provided, tips on what to do in San Diego, etc. There is even a board in the house that lists events in the city for the upcoming week. I will say that if you are someone who wants more home-y comforts the treehouse probably isn't for you - we had everything we needed but it was the basic modcons, bed was fine but not terribly comfortable - and that the house is located directly in the landing path of planes coming in to San Diego airport. The noise of this did not bother us but planes do land late into the night and start up again around 4-5am so if you're a light sleeper you'd definitely notice. However on the whole we had a lovely trip and would definitely recommend this to friends for a really unique stay!
