    This home is amazing! The deck overlooking a small canyon is a beautiful place to eat, have coffee or wine. The bedrooms and bathroom are comfortable and so well appointed. The entire place is decorated and provisioned so well. A great neighborhood to walk around and convenient to other areas of San Diego. A place that feels like home not a typical rental.

    I cannot say enough good things about the accommodation. The check-in and out were simple. The property had everything we needed for our week-long stay. I mean EVERYTHING. The only thing we had to do was get groceries. There was a fully accommodating kitchen. Pots, pans, dishes, silverware, appliances, spices, oils, etc. We left a few to add to the mix. The bathroom was set with plenty of towels and shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, hand soap, and cleaning supplies. The place was beautiful. The view was great, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. We stayed the first week of June, and there was no need for air. The cross breeze was everything. It was very private, and the location was perfect. Minutes from anything you need or want, and not in the business of the city. This was like being at home. I needed a safety pin, and it was there in the sewing kit :) We truly loved it here, and we plan to be back soon! This home had us thinking of relocating; it was just that nice. Thank you, Alicia! We truly appreciate the effort put into this home to make us feel at home.

    Cozy property just right for two to four people. In an established neighborhood not far from San Diego Zoo and museums. The back deck in particular has a fantastic view of the canyon to relax at the end of the day. The hosts were helpful and communicative. A great place to stay!

    This home was quiet and as advertised and exceeded our expectations. The location was perfectly situated for everywhere we wanted to go and was within a half mile of restaurants and coffee shops worth visiting for breakfast/brunch and dinner. I especially enjoyed walking through the surrounding neighborhoods each morning and then stopping at one of the four unique coffee shops nearby. The deck overlooking the canyon was also enjoyable and relaxing in the morning and evening. Recommend hiking through Juniper Canyon as well. We would stay here again.

    The back deck was the real feature, overlooking a small canyon. Quiet neighborhood, cute house, walking distance to restaurants and retail. Hoiuse was incredibly well-stocked for cooking and living.

    This home was the perfect base for our family getaway. Set in a quiet, nature-filled neighborhood, it felt like a hidden oasis right in the middle of the city—peaceful, safe, and a great place to unwind after busy days exploring San Diego.The vintage decor was tasteful and full of character—it added so much warmth and charm, like stepping into a well-loved home from another era. Everything was super clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully arranged. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we all slept great!Our host was fantastic—attentive, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish.We’d definitely book again. Whether you’re visiting with kids or just want a relaxing, cozy place with personality, this spot is a total win. Highly recommended!

    We love South Park and this house put us within an easy 10-min walk of the north side of the neighborhood. The house was very restful, lots of bird noises and hardly any traffic noises. The check out was easy - we took out the trash the night before and stripped the sheets in the morning. Would stay again!
