Great place to stay in San Diego

We enjoyed our stay. The property was quiet and very well kept. It's a medium-long walk to a lot of wonderful sights. John was gracious and responsive throughout our stay. We made several meals on site but we were also close to great dining. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, well-located to downtown SD

Great value, clean apartment walking distance from Gas Lamp and Petco, which we loved. Parking on street was no problem. Only downside was abundance of trash, tent city and obviously mentally ill people wandering all over Market St morning-noon-nighttime. We took Ubers home after dark.

Nice stay,great location, clean, but

Three things that needs to be addressed 1) no setting chairs only stools not good if you have a bad back, hip or knee 2) couch very low, cushions slipping out all the time very hard to get up from 3) tv in the bedroom if you wanted to change the channel you would have to get out of bed ,couldn't do it in bed

Great little place, but parking is tricky

This condo is located in a very convenient and easy to get to area. There is tons to do just minutes away (malls, Seaport Village, the bay, gaslamp quarter, etc.). It has all the amenities that you would expect and need for a vacation. Our only complaints, were the bed and parking. We woke up every morning with backaches from the bed, and it was very hard to get comfortable. And be prepared to walk a ways due to parking restrictions. The only parking is located outside on the street. We stayed for 3 days, and we had to park 2-3 blocks away on more than one occasion because all of the spots were taken.

Golden Hill

We found the location of this rental to be very convenient. Inside, it was spotless and nicely decorated. We appreciated having shampoo, conditioner, soaps, coffee and water provided, as well as enough towels to last for the week. While it was a bit of a trek for groceries or coffee, once we had our provisions, the kitchen area had all we needed to put together a hot breakfast. Our complaints were few, though I agree with an earlier reviewer that the pillows could profit from replacement. They are too thin for anybody with neck issues. There was a loose hinge on a door in the kitchen, which was reported to management. All in all, we'd definitely recommend this home for others and would be happy to stay there again at some point in the future.

Highly recommended

My husband and adult son stayed in this apartment. It truly has everything that we needed to cook some home meals and be comfortable. John was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process of checking in and our stay. Parking occasionally required us to park a block away but was easy to find. We did have a whining dog somewhere in the building or neighborhood that we kept hearing, but it didn’t disrupt our stay by any means. I would definitely come back and stay again. The beds were comfortable. The only suggestion that we would have had with our unit was to place a vent above the door from the bedroom into the living room so that the AC could reach the living room if the bedroom door was still shut. Otherwise, we propped open the front door and windows and got the breeze.

Great location! Close to downtown and Gaslamp District. Nice area to walk. Having a coffee pot in the unit definitely helps. Let’s talk parking…..there is availability directly in front of the property HOWEVER, I strongly suggest parking further up the road. We stopped by to drop off our luggage then drove to Ralph’s down the road. We went back to drop off groceries and unpack. The two times in a row we parked in front within the first two hours of our arrival, we have 4 separate quarter sized “pellet” holes in the windshield. During the 5 night stay, we noticed two other car windshields with the same quarter sized holes. Obviously, this isn’t the fault of the landlord and the reason I selected 4 out of 5 stars.

Beautiful apartment in San diego

This property was very well appointed, with nice furniture and everything needed for cooking, etc. the only problem was the bedroom carpet needed cleaning. When we reported this to the owner he was very responsive and offered to have it cleaned. We decided we did not want to wait for the drying time, so he offered a reduction in the rental fee, which we accepted.

GRANDMA VISITS WITH 2.5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON

My toddler grandson and I travelled from Florida to visit the San Diego Zoo for a few days and chose Sherman Heights to stay. It was a great location for the Zoo as well as a park close to the water that we drove to one afternoon. The place is very well maintained and the owner was very attentive to our needs. It appears in this neighborhood, many homes are being renovated and upgraded. There are a couple fast food places to walk too, but if going to a restaurant, I feel a car is needed. The parking is on the street but I never had a hard time finding a place close to park. There is a wall unit air conditioner in the bedroom which makes it comfortable to sleep at night if hot which we only used one evening. The other evenings we opened a window and the cool ocean breeze was enough to cool things down inside. The apartment has two TV's and a fully equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. There were even some plastic bowls and cups for my grandson. Everything was neat and clean on our arrival. We were very comfortable during our stay!!

Nice Victorian-style Home

We were pleased with this unit. The property manager was very responsive when upon check-in one of the televisions was not working. We thought he would simply try to repair it, but instead he replace the television completely! Who does that? We were very impressed. If you don't have a vehicle, then you need to be prepared to either take transit or walk. Fortunately, my husband and I are huge walkers, so it wasn't a problem for us, but the downtown core is around Market & 6th Streets. This suite is located on Market & 22nd Streets, so you have a bit of hike uphill from downtown at the end of your day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely re-book in future.

Outstanding Accommodations for Fun or Work

The very best part of our 2 1/2 month stay at this lovely condo in San Diego was definately the wonderful people who lovingly care for this property. John, his lovely wife, & the crew that work for them are professional, courteous, caring, and, most of all, the friendlest group of people you can possibly meet. Their ability to handle an unforeseen leak was outstanding. Our needs were always addressed and handled even though they were under a personal situation of their own. Everyone should have the opportunity to meet people like the crew who keep this charming property in Sherman Heights comfortable and available for our travel needs.
