GREAT PLACE TO STAY!
My husband &I really enjoyed this old town casita! It’s just around the corner to the “hop on, hop off” bus that we used to see & visit some major sights in San Diego (without the hassle & costs of parking). The place itself is also cute, clean, comfortable, & was one of the most “well stocked” for kitchen & bathroom items. With great commication with the owner Steve, we give this place an easy “5” stars!

Great Casita
Everything was just perfect for our mini vacation. Location was great being one street over from Old Town. Easy access to freeways and walk to the trolley station. Off street parking was a plus.

Excellect Location and Great Apartment
This rental was perfect! Close to Old Town and the Transit Center. Lots of room and everything was clearly explained. Nice area outside to sit with coffee and another area for outdoor eating with a grill. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and more. The host was great sending us directions/maps to groceries and information on tours. We are definitely staying here again. Thanks!

Great vacation, awesome host!
Needed to get some serious down time and found this cute little gem in Old Town. With such a great location we found it very easy to access transit/train. Steve was on site when we arrived and throughout our stay was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had about the place or things to do in San Diego. Highly recommended!! Thank you for being such a great host!

Victims of Double Booking error
90% of this 1 Star review regards our experience with the VRBO host owner. Worst VRBO nightmare…our months ahead, paid for 5 night reservation, was “lost” by host and our first night was double booked. Next, chaos from inability to reach the host (he was out of the country). VRBO had our reservation correct, but couldn’t tell us why the property was double booked. VRBO couldn’t reach the host. We and VRBO had no knowledge of host’s son being a contact. A neighbor told us to call the son. The son’s help was overshadowed by his words to my husband and I…“Why should I help you, if you’re just going to give my dad a bad review anyway.” The son did say “dad is old school” and nothing online at all, just a home paper calendar. No web access! Owner finally communicated with us by email, his curt reply to me was ”You are welcome to a full refund” Future emails to my husband included excuses (it’s $65 to make a phone call from our ship). We needed a simple phone call, not hiding with emails and blaming VRBO. Two vacation days were ruined even after VRBO found us a hotel. The casita location is great, place was clean. Some amenities below expectations. The pullout couch is uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi service was sketchy which impacted the Roku TV. In past reviews, people made improvement comments, but the host was immediately defensive…that’s unprofessional. We fully expect that to happen here. Several avoidable mistakes were made by host owner.
