Without hyperbole, this stand-alone unit was the best vacation rental experience I have ever had.
There is ample street parking.
We were welcomed in the quaint courtyard with a lovely, two-tier fountain with birds playing in the water against a background of a fantastic view of urban San Diego.
Izzy, the friendly golden retriever, was a delight to connect with as he ambles around the courtyard, giving lots of sweet energy.
With a private entrance, the place is beautiful, light, airy, sparkling clean! It is completely appointed for every single need a guest may have: Can-opener, wine glasses, coffee mugs with coffee maker and pods, a few healthy snacks, dish towels, iron and ironing board, a dimmable bedside lamp, great internet and tv, spotless bathroom shampoo & conditioner, amazingly comfortable beds, and on and on. Every detail or amenity was exactly where you would intuitively reach for it.
The decor felt super appealing and clean without being trendy, kitschy, or overly spartan. The owners have incredible taste that feels classy and welcoming.
Location-wise, this place was perfect! It is situated between the borders of the neighborhoods of Normal Heights and University Heights, which both feel alive with the culture of great food and coffee. it was only about 15 minutes to the airport, convention center, and the coast.
