We have stayed in many Airbnbs, in several states and cities. This was perhaps the most comfortable for us, and pretty much exactly what we wanted for a short weekend in San Diego. We live in The Los Angeles area and often stay in La Jolla or some of the other areas near the beach. We were looking for something different and heard great things about South Park and University Heights, As friends of ours had recently moved down there.
We looked at several places and chose this for its aesthetic and location, but of course you never know until you get there. We found the casita to be beautifully appointed, and very private. The room is unattached to the house and was probably the garage, although it didn’t feel like it. The courtyard is behind the gate, which leads from the driveway to the front door, it was full of beautiful plants, and a nice water feature. And there is a comfortable bench you can sit in the sun and have a coffee or pick up breakfast nearby and enjoy it outside.
Riley was an attentive host and communicator. Not long after we checked in, we ran into him on the sidewalk, end it was nice to say hello in person rather than only via messaging.
The place is perfectly located for the south park area. The beautiful Burlingame historic neighborhood is across the street, with some of the most incredible examples of 1920s era Craftsman houses we’ve ever seen. South Park is a very cool and laid-back area with young residents and families. There are many great restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner, as well as bars and brew pubs and boutiques.
Riley‘s casita is the perfect place from which to enjoy this incredible southern California neighborhood. We hope to return. Highly recommend if you can’t tell that by now :-)
