San Diego Rental near park…

1 / 5

Re rental of flats from Friday Feb 14 to Monday February 17, 2020. The rental was advertised as 9 bed rooms and on suite bath on the 3rd floor. The advertisement was wrong. The main bedroom on the 3rd floor was facing East and there were no window coverings of any kind. You could not reasonably sleep there. In the evening there was no privacy and you would wake up at 5:30 from the sun. The “room” with the two bunk beds was windowless and small. It was not a room but a closet. The one bathroom for 4 “bedrooms” was not on suite. 1 toilet for 4 bedrooms in not acceptable when you rent at a top price. I was unable to bring this to your attention sooner. We have arranged to have the family to come to San Diego for a major birthday. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Celebration of Life - …Re rental of flats from Friday Feb 14 to Monday February 17, 2020.

Great location in a great town!…

5 / 5

All was as advertised in this neat and well-equipped two bedroom, two bath unit. The location was terrific for visiting all the Balboa Park attractions including the Zoo, and for getting around the area. Check in was a bit challenging as the street parking fills up at night (No problem during the day) and the automatic outdoor lights went out before we had navigated the steep, rickety staircase and balky lock box.…All was as advertised in this neat and well-equipped two bedroom, two bath unit.
