Sweet place, great walkable neighborhood
Very spacious guest house, nice and clean with a little outdoor area to sip tea/coffee in the morning. The owners are very sweet and live in the front house but respect your privacy. I would stay again for sure, especially if it stays affordable! :). And lots of great eats and shops right up the street.

excellent stay
We stayed for 2 nights at this property and it was very enjoyable. The place was well cleaned and cozy. We had a late flight and the owners left the lights on until we got there. Would definitely recommend booking here.

Perfect place with the perfect location
This property is adorable! It is in a great neighborhood with so much you hardly need to go far. It’s quiet and close to everything. The hosts Pete and Lena were extremely welcoming and communicated every step of the way. If I ever find myself in San Diego, I know where I will be staying!

Lovely retreat from home
This place was just how the photos looked. It was nice and clean, check in was super easy and quick, and everything was overall very straightforward and easy to access. We loved the vaulted ceilings and the extra blankets and toiletries available. I would highly recommend any couple to stay at this place and would love to stay here again whenever we come back to San Diego!

A hidden gem
Pete was amazing! Thank you for welcoming us to your cottage. It was nice and cozy and was in the perfect location close to everything you need. We celebrated our baby moon getaway in the city where my wife and I first met! It was a great trip and it was nice to come “home” to a cozy place with parking may I add. Thanks Pete and Lena!

Honeymoon Bliss
This property was quaint! And the owners live in the front home so they’re on site. They came over to greet so and were so friendly. They were flexible with our reservation. It was a great stay, minus no stove, but they indicated we were the first party to stay more than a couple of days. I’d definitely stay there again! Thanks for your hospitality Lena & Pete!

Uncomfortable stay
The owners made us very uncomfortable. The outhouse is false advertised — on the site, it says 6 beds but there are only 3 and it is in a small room in the back of the owner’s house. We are adults, but the owners peered outside the windows to watch us the entire time we were there. They were not communicative and upcharged for an extra guest even though the site says they can accommodate 6 (they charged an absurd amount extra for the 6th guest). When we requested transparency for the policies, they refused and were extremely rude. Again, my entire group felt extremely uncomfortable at this VRBO we were not even able to stay the entire night. Avoid. Also extremely overcharged for the size available.

Lovely Cottage
This little cottage is just as clean and well maintained as represented in the pictures. It was very charming and a perfect fit for my daughter and I for our short visit. Seemed either newly remodeled, well maintained, or both. I found the firm beds very comfortable, my daughter would have preferred it to be softer (which would have been bad for my back). We were visiting family, so only slept here and were not able to fully appreciate the very cute neighborhood. I'd give it 5 stars for value also, but as we've stayed in a few incredibly nice (and also much more expensive) rentals my daughter convinced me I can't give everything 5 stars. Bathroom was a little small, but we already knew that from the pictures. Much happier here than in a hotel.

Perfect location!
Pete built this great studio that far surpasses any hotel room. Large, sunny with a private patio, it was perfect for 3 friends to catch up. 2 large comfy beds and a fold out futon that is also very comfortable! Thank you Pete for the great accommodations! Grocery and wine store in short walking distance and easy access to the freeway make this a perfect place to get to anywhere you want to be in SD!
