A Nice place to stay in Normal Heights
We needed a place to stay to attend a friends Christmas party. We came in from Arizona. The location was perfect. Quaint, clean, well appointed. We had a great time. Walking distance to Madi’s restaurant, great breakfast. Our hosts were very attentive

Generous hosts and relaxing vibes
The hosts were great, they helped my parents surprise me with a birthday gift. They were very nice and generous and had a well put together binder with tid bits about the neighborhood. The property was cozy and cute, inside and out. If I'm back in the San Diego area I will definitely check in here first.

Cute, Cozy, and just what we needed
This adorable little 1920s bungalow was ideal for the three of us over the weekend. It's small, but well-equipped for guests, with added touches like robes, bicycles, Kuerig coffee and creamer, and more. Comfortable beds and pillows, and plush towels were a great addition. The home has been restored and has a beautifully landscaped yard and a nice outdoor space in the rear with a seating area and table and chairs. (A small BBQ grill would be a nice addition...) The owners live in a "back" house on the same property, and were friendly and welcoming -- even invited us to their Halloween party! (We had other things going...) I'd highly recommend the place for the safety and location -- the historic neighborhood and the vibe of the whole area was great and easily accessible. Good for 3-4 adults. Madi's restaurant is just a few steps away and we ate breakfast there twice -- delectable! Thank you for a great stay!

LOVED THIS PLACE!! So my friends and I had an event that we needed to set up for at the Snap Dragon arena (4 min away) and this place made it so easy to get there on time! Not to mention it’s only 10 min away from little Italy! It is a cute cabin vibe, and super comfortable. Everything is spotless and it feels so welcoming when you step inside. The parking driveway was nice too, we fit 2 trucks in there no problem! I need to bring my wife down here and explore more of San Diego. 10/10 I recommend this place and will stay here again!

Sister's Birthday Celebration
James & Brett are amazing hosts! This little overnight getaway meant a lot to me because I wanted to honor my sister on a very special birthday. The house is just as adorable as the listing presents, we were so happy and comfy. The neighborhood is quiet & so quaint and the property is well maintained both inside and out, which meant a lot to both my sister and I, because honestly, we are rather picky. There are thoughtful touches everywhere, making this house truly feel like a home-away-from-home. James even put together a welcome amenity for my sister, a birthday balloon, scented candle and handwritten card! How caring & sweet is that?! We attended a concert at SDSU & the house was just a very short drive away. We highly recommend this cute home, you will not be disappointed! Again...great hosts & great house!

Fantastic Property and Hosts
Quick work trip that we turned into a mini-vacation. The hosts were super communicative and even offered fresh fruit for our arrival. We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and this is at the top of the list as far as being well appointed. Easy to cook without needing additional resources. Extremly clean and comfortable. Super cool neighborhood. Very quiet while being walking distance to grocery, restaurants, bars, shops. Also, conviennent location to major freeways. 5 Forks!

The stay was clean and the amenities as described. Usually you’ll find that these types of places aren’t well stock with dishes or cooking utensils, but this wasn’t the case. The owners anticipated guests needs and made sure everything was well stocked

Fantastic, cozy, place to stay with great hosts
The decor in this place in Normal Heights, San Diego was top notch and was so inviting and cozy. My group loved it. The hosts were on top of everything having a book prepared with close places to eat and fruit and drinks in the fridge. They even had every kind of USB cord and charges lined up neatly on the counter knowing that when on vacation, someone usually forgets something. I can’t recommend this more highly enough.
