The place was as advertised. Comfortable and good privacy in an area that at first glance, didn’t seem like it would have any

Host was very attentive and answering questions quickly. The apartment was clean and had everything needed for a multi day stay. It’s a very relaxing place and enough space to stretch out or to have some privacy. I would say here again if I have a need for a multi day trip back to San Diego.. Thank you for a great experience.

Where to begin. This host deserves to be banned from VRBO. She had the nerve to claim that she had no idea that the city was digging up the street right in front AND that they would be digging up the common area right outside the front door to put in new water lines DURING MY STAY!!! The neighborhood was of ramshackle homes, stray dogs and cats, and NOWHERE NEAR BALBOA PARK! She singlehandedly made me rethink ever renting from VRBO again.
