Our stay at this property was spectacular. The accommodations were clean and the host provided the information to make our stay pleasurable. The fact that we could bring our pup was a plus. Definitely a home away from home. Easy access to the freeway and other areas of interest. An added convenience was driveway parking.

Amazing location and very comfortable stay. Appreciated the little touches like having some filtered water bottles ready in the house. Two double beds but they were pretty comfy. Only complaint really was the shower, it took a long time to heat up and was difficult to adjust, the knobs seemed very sensitive so it was often too hot or too cold.

From the moment we booked to check-out, the hosts James and Brett were incredibly responsive and helpful. The home is nicely updated, well stocked, and the fenced in back patio is a big plus. We couldn't have asked for a better location within Normal Heights. Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and the nearby Kensington neighborhood. Downtown San Diego, Mission/Pacific Beach are also a 15-20 minute drive away. Highly Recommend!
