My Dad stayed in this lovely apartment for 12 days. He enjoyed the proximity to the grocery store, CVS, Santos Coffee shop, Thorn Brewery where he met up with a friend, restaurants on 30th. Easy to get to and from the airport and Santa Fe station to take the Coaster. Bill was friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for more! We will try to book again when my Dad comes back into town for a visit.

Safe, clean, comfortable, well-stocked, nice neighborhood, easy street parking, helpful hosts. Lovely cactus and succulent patio all overseen by George, the inscrutable feline patriarch.

This is a very clean and cozy apartment Everything is in perfect working order. New double-paned windows that easily open and close, comfortable bed with nice linens and plenty of white fluffy bath towels and washcloths. It is on a really nice North Park street and has a charming patio which George the cat reigns royally. I love this unit. It was my 2nd visit there.

This was the 2nd time we've stayed with Bill. We stayed there 6 years ago, and it's the only place I consider when coming to the San Diego area. The apartment is spotless and cute as a button. Bill is very close and can help with anything that might come up (we've never had anything come up.) He is friendly. And the neighborhood is walkable for restaurants, a corner market, coffee shop, etc. We had an excellent time.

My husband and I were supposed to stay for a wedding but due to childcare issues, just my husband went. He said check in was easy, he got some good suggestions for food in the area from the owner and went to one of the places suggested (bbq) and loved it! The place was nice and clean, easy to get to. We will be back for sure!

We had an amazing time visiting our son in SanDiego! This house is close to everything! Full sized kitchen that we used for breakfast every morning! The unit could use another air conditioner for the bedroom. We put the box fan on the stool to stay cool! Other than that it was a great stay!

This is a great place to stay for a vacation. Bill was very nice and respectful to us. The place is centered around everything to do. The only thing I would say is that in the sumner it’s hot i side the place and it needs a real A/C. I would definitely stay again

My husband said "this is the best VRBO we've ever stayed in." and by now, we've enjoyed about 12 - 15. For him, it was that the apartment was older, yet renovated, but did not take away from the nostalgia of the era it was built in. Being a couple in out 50's, the fixtures and the smell took us back to our childhood homes, however it was updated and fresh with current decor. Full kitchen and games are also what we look for in a VRBO, this accommodation had it all. Bill was a wonderful property manager, very quick to respond to messages and very kind. We hope to be back to stay again.

Bill and Birgit are simply amazing! Accommodating without being intrusive. Loved the unique neighborhood and having the host nearby. The apartment was exceptionally clean with a wonderful kitchen. Bill’s garden is inviting and relaxing. Bring walking shoes as you’ll want to tour the North Park area! Bill D.

We loved our stay at Bill and Birgit’s apartment! The location was perfect and we were centrally located for everywhere we wanted to visit. The apartment was very clean and a perfect size for the two of us. We loved the little garden area as well. Bill was very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Would highly recommend staying here.

I’ve never had a host who more willing to accommodate my arrival and departure schedule. I opted to stay a few minutes outside of La Jolla where I was attending a wedding. The location was nice and quiet, and very close to good eateries and shops.
Bill was a huge help, and I would highly recommend renting this property if you’re looking for a quiet neighborhood which is also close enough to hop on the major highways in a few short minutes.

Bill (the owner) was very easy to communicate with beforehand; nice guy who checked in and made sure everything was good upon arrival, but was also unobtrusive. Upon arrival the place is super clean. It was very comfortable. Full kitchen was very convenient. The location is great: close to Balboa Park, quick drive to downtown (Gaslamp, Old Town, etc.) It's located in a great neighborhood with its own nice restaurants. It's very close to I-805. All this for much less than any decent hotel. Will seek this place again if/when returning to San Diego.

Very poor communication. It's too bad because the condo was quite acceptable. Good luck trying to communicate with this guy. You'll regret it.

Friendly host. The comprehensiveness of the amenities in the unit is fantastic. Anything that you’d need is there. Very comfy bed, great shower, we’ll equipped kitchen. Quiet neighborhood with very convenient freeway access. Would definitely stay here again when back in San Diego.

Property was fine. Renter was very awkward and made us uncomfortable. After we left, they charged an additional fee for vomit splash on the walls, which I didn’t see otherwise I would’ve cleaned. Then proceeded to message and say NOT to rebook the property because I vomited. Horrible experience. Will never book again. Don’t even think about getting sick in this property. Apparently that’s a problem.

My wife and I stayed over a weekend and it was perfect for our purposes. Easy to check in/check out, enjoyable neighborhood, plentiful on-street parking, and restaurants close by. We look forward to our next visit.

Meticulously clean! In a neighborhood of architecturally unique and charming homes. Short, easy drive to major attractions and close enough to walk to local eateries. Enjoyed the vibe of being in a neighborhood. Apartment was comfortable and tastefully decorated with everything you need. Did I mention how clean it was? The backyard oasis is truly a sight to behold and enjoy. Hosts were friendly, helpful and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would return again!

Property very charming home like ,i would rent the place if i lived in SD. Theres good cafe's close by and a comic book store which is a super plus. Best relaxing getaway! Balboa park is close by if you drive otherwise if you enjoy long walks you will love it. Bed is comfy and shower pressure was just right. All amenities are there and if you want to cook all supplies are there. I stay there again whenever i do a quick getaway to SD🙂.

After driving to San Diego from Indian Wells we were ready to spend time off the busy freeways! We were able to easily drive to Balboa Park, the Zoo & Seaport Village on side streets. It’s also not far from the airport. There were fabulous restaurants within walking distance (be sure to make reservations at Alexander’s…delicious Italian) & it felt safe to walk even at night. Bill’s yard is like a botanical garden. The stay is small but we didn’t need more space since we were out & about most of the time.

Felt like my home for three nights. Highest recommendation.
