Needed to get some serious down time and found this cute little gem in Old Town. With such a great location we found it very easy to access transit/train. Steve was on site when we arrived and throughout our stay was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had about the place or things to do in San Diego. Highly recommended!! Thank you for being such a great host!

90% of this 1 Star review regards our experience with the VRBO host owner. Worst VRBO nightmare…our months ahead, paid for 5 night reservation, was “lost” by host and our first night was double booked. Next, chaos from inability to reach the host (he was out of the country). VRBO had our reservation correct, but couldn’t tell us why the property was double booked. VRBO couldn’t reach the host. We and VRBO had no knowledge of host’s son being a contact. A neighbor told us to call the son. The son’s help was overshadowed by his words to my husband and I…“Why should I help you, if you’re just going to give my dad a bad review anyway.” The son did say “dad is old school” and nothing online at all, just a home paper calendar. No web access! Owner finally communicated with us by email, his curt reply to me was ”You are welcome to a full refund” Future emails to my husband included excuses (it’s $65 to make a phone call from our ship). We needed a simple phone call, not hiding with emails and blaming VRBO. Two vacation days were ruined even after VRBO found us a hotel. The casita location is great, place was clean. Some amenities below expectations. The pullout couch is uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi service was sketchy which impacted the Roku TV. In past reviews, people made improvement comments, but the host was immediately defensive…that’s unprofessional. We fully expect that to happen here. Several avoidable mistakes were made by host owner.

Property was comfortable, immaculate and we totally enjoyed our week long stay. The location was ideal.

Fantastic rental. The host Steve was communicative and very helpful. The casita was clean, with instructions and other helpful information easily accessible. Great location close to public transportation. Highly recommend! Would happily stay here again.

The property owner is awesome! He makes sure you have what you need during your stay. Has a ton of information about the local area. Thank you again!

Perfect!

Really conveniently located if you want access to Downtown, the Airport, or even Mission Valley. Charming little place. Everything you need, and the owner is very accommodating.

Our host was indeed a SuperHost, both before and throughout our visit. The location of the property was perfect for exploring historic Old Town, and being near the transport hub, we were able to use the excellent San Diego metro system of busses, trolleys and trains As we were there for a month we were able to explore much of San Diego, and with so much to see and do we could have stayed longer

We loved the location being close to the park and a transportation hub. The cottage itself was a little like stepping back in time with original fixtures and vibe. When staying more than a few days it was so good to be able to make some of our meals at home, and wander down the street to the local restaurants for others. I’d stay here again.

My husband and I stayed in this cute little Casita for nine nights! We were in San Diego to celebrate our 35th anniversary and Christmas. The location was perfect and working with Steve was a pleasure. We highly recommend this place!

Echoing the other reviewers, we can't say enough nice things about this place. Great communication with the owner before, during and after the stay. Roomy and comfortable one-bedroom unit with kitchen. The owner seems to have thought about everything - spices for cooking, maps, toiletries and first aid supplies, even a Scotch tape dispenser! WiFi is good and cell service (at least with T-Mobile) is strong. There's a Roku TV with limited offerings, although we couldn't figure out how to watch local broadcast channels so we just ended using our laptop WiFi to stream from our cable provider at our home. The location can't be beat - walking distance to Old Town, at most one-third of a mile walk to the Old Town Transit Center which will take you nearly anywhere on public transit, and a safe neighborhood to walk at night. The heating system at night was a little noisy and woke us up at least once each night during our stay, but that's really our only minor complaint. We will gladly stay here again the next time we're in San Diego!

We will stay again. Great owners and so nice. Loved it.

From the moment I booked Steve communicated with me offering information on things to do and best ways to get around. He quickly responded if I had a question. The location was across the street from Old Town San Diego, tons of restaurants and shops as well as transportation. Yet very quiet day and night if you want to relax in the home. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again if I'm ever back in the area..

Excellent property and location! Walking distance to dining and market for shopping. About 5 minutes or so to the beach 🏖️. The communication with Steve was easy and enjoyable. His recommendations for breakfast and dinner locations was much appreciated. We will definitely be returning to this tental for our next California vacation.

Very clean, all amenities needed available, comfortable and quiet location. Had the chance to meet Steve and Kathy, wonderful people, wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Old Town area.

This was our groups 2nd time staying at the casita and everything was as we remembered. Clean, quiet, well appointed, easy trolley access, and friendly, easy communication with the owners. This is our first choice for our annual friend reunion & we hope to be back soon!

Place was clean with no pet smells. Ideal location in old town. Steve is a good host. No problems with check in or out. Close to trolley to basically take you to anywhere in the area. Took trolley to Petco park. Leaves you off right in front of park

This was a quaint, convenient casita for our visit to SanDiego! Very comfortable and well equipped. Great location! Easy on-site parking. We will return on our next trip and will highly recommend to friends.

Old Town is awesome. Lots to do & see.

Excellent. Will come again

Great place to stay! Cute, quiet and close to everything.

wonderful history restored casita from 40s center location to the City adjacent to major transit hub

As a frequent traveler, this casita is the nicest and best supplied rental I have experienced. Everything was spotless and worked perfectly. Kathy and Steve, the owners, could not have been kinder with their time and thoughtfulness. The location is terrific. I can't imagine anyone not loving a stay here.

I was very comfortable staying here. I loved everything about it. Furnished nicely with a very comfortable bed. The location can't be beat, literally a few steps to Old Town. The landscaping was lovely. The swing out front was relaxing. An all around great place to stay.

Primarily dealt with Steve as the property manager. Super responsive to our messages. The casita is cute and the perfect size for me and my husband though up to 4 guests can be accommodated, just a little cozier. But totally the thing we loved was the location. Walk right across the street to Old Town with restaurants and shopping. Close to the airport, the zoo and the trolley. Close to our family we came to visit. It’s winter so we really didn’t use the outdoor space but it’s super cute and totally would any other season. We loved this little place and you will too!

This is the cutest little place in the perfect location. We loved being able to park the car and walk to transportation, dining, and shops. We also loved relaxing “at home.” We had the best girls weekend away! Thank you.

We stayed at this lovely Casita while in San Diego for a family celebration.
