Seth and Dorit’s place really does live up to the hype—it’s cute, welcoming, and in the absolute perfect location. A lot of the sights in San Diego (the zoo, attractions in Balboa park, Coronado island, downtown San Diego, etc.) are about a 10-15 minute drive away. All of the check-in instructions and house instructions are clear and helpful, and the hosts have made excellent use of the small space and provided so many thoughtful touches throughout. It was like finding little treasures everywhere!
Upon my nighttime arrival I couldn’t figure out the lock box, and Dorit came out to help me right away and was very gracious about it.
Like others have said, the only con is the loud water pump—I didn’t realize that it would intermittently keep making noise as I showered or used the sink, and that was a bit much for me. However, in the house instructions on the dresser it clearly explains how the water pump works and what to expect, so just be prepared for that. The light coming through the skylight window in the early morning can be a bit bright, so bring an eye mask if you’d prefer to ease into your wake cycle (thankfully I read about this from other commenters and brought one; I also discovered in the side table drawers that Seth and Dorit also provide them—they’re just so good at thinking of everything!)
Overall, this place, its location, and hosts are pretty great, and it made my first trip to San Diego a pleasant one.
