Great potential

The carriage house is in a great location on Bankers Hill. The rental appears to have been great at one time but was not as clean as expected. There was mold in the showers, and heating unit. The refrigerator and stove were left dirty. The host sent someone in to clean and they did ok on the stove and refrigerator. If the home gets a deep clean to restore what appears to have been there once, it would be a 5 star rental again.

Wonderful!

This is a beautifully decorated house in a wonderful and walkable neighborhood. The carriage house has all the amenities and we found lots of great restaurants within a few blocks. The historic nature of the neighborhood and the proximity to Balboa Park are added benefits.

Strawberry lemonade

The property is clean, and I found the courtyard to be inviting and relaxing with the plants, trees, humming birds, and fountain. The parking was an issue most all times of morning, day, and evening. We would loop many times and sometimes find parking on the same street but sometimes have to park around the block. The biggest improvement I would suggest are better mattresses and pillows. The beds are HARD and there are basically 3 pillows per each of 2 bedrooms. Most of the pillows were completely flat. We only cooked once while staying and could have used a couple utencils in kitchen but the kitchen is actually supplied quite well. Since we mostly used the location to sleep I wish our sleep had been more comfortable. Oh and there is one AC unit so we used the many fans the owner supplied to cool down. We kept curtains closed during day and that seemed to help. We are used to central AC so this was different for us. However, we really did enjoy our stay at this location. It's location is great for getting to most any major attraction.

Banker’s Hill Commentary

Enjoyed the stay. Quaint, clean and classy place. Felt very safe in that part of town. Felt the bedrooms could have been a bit warmer as my visit was in December and they were/are a ways from the central heater/furnace.

Great apartment and location

A great upper apartment with a great location… close to Blanks Park and downtown, Hillcrest, etc. Very comfortable, nicely appointed and exactly as pictured. We spent more time inside than we expected because we enjoyed the space so much. Would absolutely stay here again.

Quiet San Diego neighborhood

This was a delightful place to stay within walking distance of Balboa Park and many restaurants. It was close to the airport so that one didn't have to worry about traffic when catching your flight home. It was a good base for us to visit the beach, do some shopping, and visit San Diego University, our main reason for the trip. The only problem was no off street parking which was really only an issue on weekdays during the day when we were usually gone. At other times there was parking available right near the place on the street. Since the 2 rentals had access to a washer and dryer it was convenient to wash clothing or towels. The beds were comfy and the kitchen well-stocked with what we needed.

Great weekend trip to a favorite locale.

Hello Don and Laura. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your property. The location is the best. It's quiet and east to access major roadways for day trips. Wonderful to walk Balboa park in the mornings. Everything was just as you had mentioned. Nice place. We would love to come again. Many thanks, Judy
