"The Good: Comfortable Beds: The beds allowed for restful sleep. Entertainment Options: TVs equipped with Roku for streaming, though initially unplugged. The Bad: Ant Infestation: Ants were present throughout the kitchen, made harder to notice due to dim lighting. Cluttered Space: The house felt like a personal storage area, filled with the owner's odds and ends. Thermostat Issues: Inefficient settings caused the house to overheat, wasting energy. Window Problems:...

⭐️Beautiful 2 bedroom home with patio ☀️Great neighborhood! close to everything!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was located close to everything we wanted to do. Minutes away from Balboa Park, The SanDiego Zoo, North an South Park neighborhoods, even Little Italy. Walkable to a few coffee shops and in what felt like a safe neighborhood. The double windows keep the sounds of cars and overhead airplanes out.making for a good nights sleep. The owners were responsive and helpful when I asked a question. "

Spanish Cottage in Kensington, San Diego
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"We came into town for comic-con, seaworld, and the zoo; Kensington was close for both and had a small town feel in a big city. The Spanish cottage was adorable, very clean, and perfect for our needs. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and there was plenty of parking available. We would love to stay again next year! The stay was even better when we met the cutest puppy next door!"

"We entered the property to an overwhelming smell of mildew/mold. Property management made excuses such as it has a lived in smell and just needs to be aired out. It was so bad, we bought airspray just to make it through one night. Apparently some team came to clean the garage disposal on day 2 which seemed to be the root source of the smell. Naturally this team said it smelled normal. Wrong. This was beyond anything acceptable even for an old property or this team has no sense of smell. We...

Orange Tree Cottages Downtown
3.5 star property
6.4 out of 10, (30)
"This is a really good option if you want to be close to downtown. Lots of good restaurants, bars, museums, ect. to see in a walkable distance. Just make sure to bring earplugs because this property is directly under the flight path for planes landing at the airport, they pass over only a couple hundred feet overhead continuously all day but slack off at night. Overall I enjoyed it. "
