Great stay in San Diego
Nice place to stay. Quiet comfortable place which was good for me and my family with 2 younger kids (7 and 10). Good location with enough parking. Host was very friendly and fixed a couple of things that needed fixing. Kitchen is well equipped of you want to cook at home. Comfy main bed, pull out bed a bit soft and may not be so comfy for kids older than mine. Shower was good. Reasonably close to things, we were able to wall to a ball game at Petco Park. Internet was just fast enough to support 3 devices while also using the provided Netflix on the TV. All in all a very nice stay.

We enjoyed this VRBO. We have stayed at many rentals and this one was among the nicer ones. Very clean, had everything we needed. Extremely close to downtown. A little noisy in the evenings, but not unbearable.

Clean, well-located to downtown SD
Great value, clean apartment walking distance from Gas Lamp and Petco, which we loved. Parking on street was no problem. Only downside was abundance of trash, tent city and obviously mentally ill people wandering all over Market St morning-noon-nighttime. We took Ubers home after dark.

Great place to stay in San Diego
We enjoyed our stay. The property was quiet and very well kept. It's a medium-long walk to a lot of wonderful sights. John was gracious and responsive throughout our stay. We made several meals on site but we were also close to great dining. I would definitely stay here again.

Had a nice stay here, location was close to everything we wanted to do. Made a complete thanksgiving dinner for the fam and served outside. We were missing a couple of pot holders, a small mixing bowl and a couple of storage containers but otherwise worked out great. I would stay here again.

Beautiful apartment in San diego
This property was very well appointed, with nice furniture and everything needed for cooking, etc. the only problem was the bedroom carpet needed cleaning. When we reported this to the owner he was very responsive and offered to have it cleaned. We decided we did not want to wait for the drying time, so he offered a reduction in the rental fee, which we accepted.

Great location! Close to downtown and Gaslamp District. Nice area to walk. Having a coffee pot in the unit definitely helps. Let’s talk parking…..there is availability directly in front of the property HOWEVER, I strongly suggest parking further up the road. We stopped by to drop off our luggage then drove to Ralph’s down the road. We went back to drop off groceries and unpack. The two times in a row we parked in front within the first two hours of our arrival, we have 4 separate quarter sized “pellet” holes in the windshield. During the 5 night stay, we noticed two other car windshields with the same quarter sized holes. Obviously, this isn’t the fault of the landlord and the reason I selected 4 out of 5 stars.

GRANDMA VISITS WITH 2.5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON
My toddler grandson and I travelled from Florida to visit the San Diego Zoo for a few days and chose Sherman Heights to stay. It was a great location for the Zoo as well as a park close to the water that we drove to one afternoon. The place is very well maintained and the owner was very attentive to our needs. It appears in this neighborhood, many homes are being renovated and upgraded. There are a couple fast food places to walk too, but if going to a restaurant, I feel a car is needed. The parking is on the street but I never had a hard time finding a place close to park. There is a wall unit air conditioner in the bedroom which makes it comfortable to sleep at night if hot which we only used one evening. The other evenings we opened a window and the cool ocean breeze was enough to cool things down inside. The apartment has two TV's and a fully equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. There were even some plastic bowls and cups for my grandson. Everything was neat and clean on our arrival. We were very comfortable during our stay!!

Nice Victorian-style Home
We were pleased with this unit. The property manager was very responsive when upon check-in one of the televisions was not working. We thought he would simply try to repair it, but instead he replace the television completely! Who does that? We were very impressed. If you don't have a vehicle, then you need to be prepared to either take transit or walk. Fortunately, my husband and I are huge walkers, so it wasn't a problem for us, but the downtown core is around Market & 6th Streets. This suite is located on Market & 22nd Streets, so you have a bit of hike uphill from downtown at the end of your day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely re-book in future.

Outstanding Accommodations for Fun or Work
The very best part of our 2 1/2 month stay at this lovely condo in San Diego was definately the wonderful people who lovingly care for this property. John, his lovely wife, & the crew that work for them are professional, courteous, caring, and, most of all, the friendlest group of people you can possibly meet. Their ability to handle an unforeseen leak was outstanding. Our needs were always addressed and handled even though they were under a personal situation of their own. Everyone should have the opportunity to meet people like the crew who keep this charming property in Sherman Heights comfortable and available for our travel needs.

About the host

Hosted by John Reardon

Host profile image
I grew up in Northampton Massachusetts, a town with countless beautiful old homes and lots of woods. I spent countless days in my youth building tree forts never knowing that those 2 dynamics would intersect at this point. Upon arriving in San Diego with an interest in building and purchasing real estate, I became immediately interested in the largely neglected Victorian buildings in this area of town. This property became a labor of love for me many years ago and I hope that legacy will be carried forward by my 3 sons. My wife if Japanese, so our family often divides our time between 2 very different worlds, both with much to offer.

Why they chose this property

It is our hope that our guests will appreciate the attention to detail and uniqueness of design that has been incorporated into every aspect of this property.

What makes this property unique

This property is strategically located close to most of San Diego's most popular destinations. It's central location and proximity to a newly revitalized downtown, airport, beaches and parks affords our guests the best possible experience while visiting San Diego.
