3.5 star property
7.8 out of 10, Good, (362)
"Unit smelled of mildew, it would have been nice to list a couple of of places for over night parking. Sink drains slowly and bathroom door loudly squeaks. There was human feces on the hallway floor, first floor this morning morning! Thank you for the nice touches such as earplugs, kitchen amenities and bed mattress. "

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (5)
"We were here to tour SDSU & USD for college. Apartment is well located, clean, and parking is easy. Our flight got delayed several times, so we weren't able to check in until 2:30am--self check in was easy. Alan and his colleagues were quite helpful and easy to get ahold of."

Newly renovated waterfront stay with sweeping views, and a private washer/dryer
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (16)
"Pros: The proximity to the beach and to two local coffee shops is unbeatable. The space was clean and quiet which is great for travelers with families. Everything you needed in the kitchen was there. Cons: No bath mats, heater didn't work, no clear parking spot directions, and the toilet seat was broken (I believe it was mentioned that it was broken already in past reviews, which means it still hasn't been fixed)."

"Owners communicated all the important information very well! The property was clean and ready early! She gave great recommendations of places to eat as well as places to go see! Loved the games they had, even though we brought some to play. Only “complaint” we would even have, which is NOT a complaint at all is it would be nice if there was more light in the living room. We will definitely stay here again!!!"

3.0 out of 10, (2)
"Our stay was subpar. When we arrived we were not told we could not park in the driveway until arriving. The neighborhood is crowded so it took over 30 minutes to find a parking spot on the street because we had a truck. After that when we went inside we could not find one of the bedrooms because it was completely separate in the backyard but it was not listed in the description. Next we found condoms in cups in the bookshelf as well as dead bugs. In the morning one of the beds had bugs crawling...
