Great location for visiting Old Town San Diego. Home was well equipped and very welcoming to our dog. It is located next to an event center or restaurant that plays very loud music on weekend nights though. Ear plugs are helpful.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was perfect and there was even a dog bed, toys, and a water dish filled with water waiting for us when we got there. Within walking distance to lots of dog friendly restaurants and within a 10-15min drive to all the things we wanted to do in San Diego, including an off leash dog beach. Would stay here again.
