The place was very cute, clean and charming. However I have many complaints especially for the price. The parking on the street wasn’t great and difficult to pull a car in the tiny garage. Also, the pictures of the beds were misleading. Although there were 2 king sized beds, the other 2 bedrooms were supposed to have been queens and they appeared small more like a Full. The counter spaces in the bathrooms were very small and the one bathroom only had a small face mirror. Not easy at all for a bunch of women to get ready at the same time. We didn’t use the ‘cowboy pool’ b/c it seemed like too much work to get the 2 covers off and all. I wouldn’t recommend this property for a girls trip.

Absolutely incredible! 5 stars +
This place is magic. Incredible location, beautifully decorated, and so thoughtful in the details. Our family of four loved everything about this place - from the beautiful deck and pool, the comfy beds, and the small touches like a bath mat in the bathroom we used for the kids. Walkable to some fantastic restaurants. This will be our go to place for all future stays in San Diego!
