My friends and I had planned a spring break trip to San Diego and had a great time and found the house to be a perfect home base for our trip. If you are looking to explore the Gaslamp quarter, I would definitely suggest this house. The location is great and feels very safe. There really is no backyard area so if you are looking for that then this might not be the place for you but we did not need any outdoor space. The parking situation was very easy. We felt as if the house had enough space to accommodate all of us comfortably. I felt as if I could have lived there. A few random suggestions I have for future guests is to not use both showers at the same time because the water can get very cold in one of the showers if the other one is on (which is pretty common in houses) and if you are traveling with a group bigger than 4 or 5 people perhaps bring an extra mirror for your room because none of the rooms have any. Other than that, perfect experience!
