It wasn't awful

1. The door code for the rental was unreliable. It took texting back and forth with the property manager and waiting outside in the cold for 20 minutes before I received a code that worked. Each time we returned to the rental it took 20 minutes to try different door codes until one worked.2. The property has unreliable electrical. We came back from dinner at 9 pm, walked in and turned on the lights and the lights went out. We had to go find the fuse box and reset the breaker. 3. The advertisement was for a bed and a sofa sleeper but there were not enough sheets and blankets to accommodate both sleeping areas. 4. The property is across the street from the hospital. Since you do not get the address until 3 days before checking in it is too late to cancel the reservation. Ambulances went by with sirens throughout the night.5. It was text only communication so when the door codes were not working it took longer to get a code that worked because we had to wait for a text reply rather that just talking to a person while trouble shooting the door.We will not stay here again but it is a great location for someone who has a family member in the hospital.

The perfect Hillcrest stay!

My parents came to visit and with my apartment being too small to host them, I rented this cottage for them with the convenience that it's only 2 blocks away from me. It was absolutely perfect in every way. They raved about its comforts and charm throughout their stay. They wanted for nothing as it is well stocked with everything they could need. With it being tucked behind the main house it's off the street and private (and quiet). You occasionally pass the front house guests on the walkway but it was such a pleasant and easy experience overall. Will absolutely be rebooking this place for any future family visits!

Perfect conveniently sited private stay

Apart from noise from hospital and construction this was a delightful place to stay. We enjoyed the secure lot for our 2 well behaved dogs..beware of visiting skunk at night tho. We appreciated the locale..can walk to supermarkets a wide range of delicious eateries for when you dont want to cook. Everything that is needed for cooking is available and gas stove works wonderfully. We recommend this place.

Cute, quirky, older GEM

This gem is an older mother-in-law style home. Compact, a bit quirky, well maintained, very clean, and stocked with all that you need in your home away from home. Location is perfect for visiting patients of UC San Diego Health hospital — as we were — just a three-block walk. The Hillcrest neighborhood to the south is full of good restaurants and shops, as well as San Diego’s “gayborhood.”

Cute Bungalow

Overall the stay was great! The home was clean, nicely decorated and had a very "homey feel". Check in and departure instructions were easy to follow. My pups were with me and they enjoyed the yard. Restaurants were within walking distance and we were only about 10 minutes from Little Italy which was nice. The only downside was the parking, which is why I gave the stay 4/5. There were "Temporary tow away" signs (we notified the owner as soon as we arrived) so we were unable to park on the street without risking getting towed even with a parking permit (we confirmed with parking enforcement). The owner informed us we can park in the driveway until the guests from the front house arrived on our last day. On our last day, we received a text message ordering us to move our car without an alternative suggestion as to where we can park. We ended up working it out with the front guests. The man was rude and pushy, but we ended up coming to an agreement. I think it would have been helpful for the front guests to be aware of the parking issues (maybe they would have been more understanding and not as rude) in addition to being provided an alternative suggestion. I understand the parking situation is out of the owner's control, but there could have been a better way to handle it. No one wants to risk getting their car towed.

Great location but not an accurate listing

The rental was in a great location, close to local restaurants and 15 minute drive to most attractions and the beach. When we arrived, the rental was almost 80 degrees inside. There was a small window air unit that we immediately turned on. It was unable to cool the entire bungalow because it was only rated for 150 square feet. I contacted to property manager who eventually had a fan delivered that evening. This helped, but the living room was very warm for my children to sleep. Also, the wifi stopped working on our second day and the issue was not resolved. Although this was in a great location, I would not stay here again because of these issues.
