This place is a hidden gem, and we thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay here. The location is excellent and close to everything - beaches, downtown, attractions. It overlooks a ravine and offers beautiful views from the patio. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and serene. Everything that you need - grocery store, coffee shop, highway access, downtown, balboa park - is within 5-10 minutes driving distance The host communicates promptly and efficiently. The place is a historic home that the owner meticulously repaired and upgraded and chronicled in a printed book aptly titled "The Shed". The house had many thoughtful touches, usual amenities, games, and puzzles to keep everyone busy - my 18 and 10 years old had a great time with the jigsaw puzzles. The host also provided plenty of linen and towels. Boogies boards, beach chairs and umbrella were such an additional touch! thanks for that. There are plenty of electric outlets conveniently located around the house. House has plenty of windows and the patio is a great place to relax in the mornings or evenings. I personally fell asleep on the lounger one of the evenings!
Parking can be a bit tricky, and we found backing into it as the best solution for easier in and out. There's space for two cars (one is a carport).
We highly recommend this place and will definitely consider it again in the future. Don't miss out this little gem if you are coming to San Diego.
