We came to San Diego to visit friends who lived there, and were happy to find Matteo's place within walking distance of theirs. The fact that it could fit our friend's car as well as ours in the driveway was a bonus since there's not always a lot of street parking in that neighborhood. The house was clean and beautiful, and check-in was easy; when we had a minor issue, Matteo resolved it immediately. My husband and I, as well as my 71 year old mom, and our 7 year old son, were very comfortable and had plenty of room. There was also enough space to host our 2 friends for dinner. We didn't spend any time outside because of the weather, but I'm sure when it's warmer the fire pit would be great! The North Park/ University Heights area is great, lots of good food and things to do, but comfortable for families and close to everything. We would definitely stay here again!
