This house is amazing. Stop looking now. If you want to enjoy SD, this house is literally 15-20 minutes from EVERYTHING! Stayed with our two teens and we were very comfortable. Great area, walkable to anything you’d need too. I’d give it more than five stars if I could!

From start to finish, this was a fantastic stay! The host’s communication was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and made everything effortless. The location was perfect: easy to find, close to everything, and was itself a fun, artsy atmosphere that made the stay a joy.The space itself was exactly what we hoped for—beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. It was stocked with everything we needed, from the kitchen appliances to the little extras that made us feel right at home. Every detail was considered, making our stay relaxing and stress-free.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and charm!

Communication was excellent with Matt and Dean. Property is as depicted and described in the listing. Very cool eclectic bohemian mid century vibe. Nice secure fenced yard. Our dogs loved it here, not just their humans. Our son's in laws live three doors away and catty corner, so we intend to stay again. No question about it.

This place was absolutely fantastic! We were two couples visiting San Diego for a weekend and could not have found a better location. This is a lovely house, convenient walking distance to restaurants and a comfortable, pleasant living area to come home to and relax in the evenings. We will definitely try to get this house again in the future.

We loved our stay at the Purple Panache! It was just the right size for our family of four to continue our Southern California vacation. The decor was so fun and artsy! We loved spending time in the private backyard to unwind after sightseeing. LOVED that it was so close to so many wonderful attractions! Bonus, we got to experience the Thursday Farmer's Market in North Park (within walking distance) and the vendors were incredible; so fun to get a more local experience. The space was very clean and the host was very accommodating! Very safe neighborhood. Would recommend to couples or small families looking for a clean, safe, chic space to enjoy the San Diego area!
