Beautiful place to stay.
Beautiful place and neighborhood. Only draw back is parking can be tricky and a bit of a walk. Home is excellent and great communication with the host and needs. Short commute to balboa park and beaches.

Fine, but it could be better
The location was pretty nice. Everything was 10-15 minutes of where we wanted to go. Now, the couches looked like they could use a cleaning. Apart, from that it was okay even though we got reservation super last minute.

Place is okay……the manager did not respond to any emails I sent regarding internet and missing items……they were more concerned that I leave a 5 star review…..

Bright and Functional Apartment
My daughter loved the bright color of this home and we loved how it had everything we needed! The bathroom was the star with a wonderful spa shower. We didn’t have many issues finding parking.
We had two issues when we arrived and Doreen had them resolved within 24 hours.
Like most VRBO properties, there are no curtains in the bedrooms (only privacy shades), so recommend you bring your own blackout curtains if you need it very dark to sleep.
