Excellent Location!
I looked long and hard and finally found the best place for us! It’s perfectly located - everything is a 15 mins drive max! You can walk to the various restaurants in the evening after a long day of sightseeing and there is a nice park about 5 minutes walk from the house where you can walk your doggo friend! We wanted to take our pooch to the ocean and being able to find such a great apartment where we could have him with us without any hustles (has to stay in a kennel all day, has to weigh less than 20lbs etc was just wonderful! The parking is super convenient right next to the apartment! The area is very safe and quiet at night! Communication with the owner was very smooth-he answered all our questions and helped with whatever we needed right away! If we will go back to San Diego we will definitely book this wonderful place again!

Great property in lively location
The property was great for our small party (2 adults + preschooler) and would also be perfect for a couple or maybe one additional small child. Location is within walking distance of lots of restaurants. If not up for eating in after a long day, the backyard is a great place for adults to eat and drink while the kids play. The indoors was efficient and well thought-out, with lots of convenient things like charging stations. Major attractions, like the zoo, are a short drive. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely condo with comfortable bed
This condo fit our needs in every way. The bed was comfortable, it was clean and nicely appointed and it was close to restaurants and coffee shops. We worried that it might be noisy but even though we stayed over a weekend, we heard one burst of laughter at 11pm and that was it. The property manager responded quickly when we had a question.

Thank you Mark and Robert!
We were thrilled with our stay in university heights! Everything about the property exceeded our expectations. Due to weather, our flight was delayed for several days and Robert extended our stay and was an amazing help. Throughout the years, we have stayed in many university heights rentals and this was by far the best!

We appreciated the comfort and spacious feeling of this place; plenty of room in the closet for clothing and in the kitchen for breakfast items and left-overs, etc. The couch and t.v. with lots of viewing choices were perfect to unwind after a busy day. We also loved the location; walking distance to food and coffee places. We felt it was a safe and pleasant neighborhood. Thank you for making your place available and affordable!

Perfect Location for Visiting All of San Diego!
Originally I had booked a hotel for San Diego, but mid-California vacation I opted to cancel and book this VRBO. Best decision ever. The University Heights neighborhood is delightful, quiet and literally a super easy drive to anywhere you want to visit. We spent time in La Jolla, Ocean Beach, San Diego Zoo, Whale Watching, and a drive down to the border “just because.” The unit is small, but it was just me and my three daughters. The cost was just right for us. The backyard patio offers extra outdoor space to lounge and eat. There is a large walk-in closet in the master bedroom with ample storage space, hanging bars and a dresser. The bed was comfortable and had two bedside tables that were nice space to have. Two of my children slept on the futon bed while we were there. I wouldn’t recommend for four adults, but four including at least two children in your party will work just fine. The kitchen is amazing—everything we needed. There is a coffee shop right down the block, and a bunch of other stores and restaurants within very close walking or driving distance. I have very minor suggestions and thoughts on the property: I asked that the owners consider more shelving in the bathroom for personal items, as it is a pedestal sink. We were a party of FOUR female…lots of make-up and facial care (LOL). Also, the lighting in the bathroom was extremely poor and unable to rectified while we stayed. I’m sure they’ll address this, minor issue. The bathroom shower is amazing…very large. The parking situation can be a little hairy. There are two dedicated spots, but don’t come with a car bigger than a Honda Fit! We were driving a full SUV (rented) and couldn’t fit in the spaces. We were always able to find street parking, but at times we had to circle the block a couple of times and wait for someone to leave. When I was tired and wanted to be comfortable, that was annoying. I highly recommend this property if you want a more “home” feel stay (not a hotel)..options to cook, watch TV and relax in quiet. The neighborhood is incredibly safe. We loved San Diego!

Awesome Spot in Excellent Location
I stayed in Casa Nova for about 5 days and could not have been more pleased. The pictures accurately depict the great spot, which is plenty spacious and right in the heart of the University Heights area. The host was also extremely responsive throughout the stay. Perfect location (with super easy parking) and accommodation for those visiting SD and looking for a newly updated place in a safe neighborhood location, within walking distances to great restaurants/bars/coffee shops.

Cutest UH place to stay!
We had a wonderful experience staying in this cute University Heights duplex. The home was clean, comfortable and in an ideal location to enjoy the town plus the bonus of a dedicated parking stay was the best. We were within walking distance to everything and enjoyed getting up each morning and throwing on some flipflops and comfy clothes to go walk to some amazing coffee joints. On our walks the locals were so friendly with morning greetings and a warm smile. In the evenings we utilized the homes kitchen and enjoyed most meals in but would then walk to a local bar or brewery where we met more friendly locals and had interesting and fun conversations late into the night. The house had most everything you needed with a few basic exceptions for the kitchen that I would recommend adding. :) A can opener, a couple more knives (only found one large butcher knife), strainer, cheese grater, a couple more large serving bowls, measuring spoons, the pod style coffee maker was awesome but some larger coffee cups would be great. I made it work :) but the items listed would be so helpful for those of us that love to cook. All in all though, this place was great and the responses and customer service from the property managers was quick and always helpful. We would stay again for sure! Thank you for sharing this awesome place to stay while we enjoyed beautiful San Diego.

Perfect Spot
Cozy and cute place in a great location! We really enjoyed our stay here. It's a perfect place to rent with friends for a weekend in SD. The location is perfect it's central to pretty much everything and the rainbow shark on the front of the building was so fun! It made the property easy to identify and we snapped a few photos in front of it. The check-in was seamless and communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive. It's a small space but a perfect place to crash 😌

CASA NOVA REVIEW
My husband, mother, and I stayed at Casa Nova five nights and enjoyed it very much. Adam (the property manager) was very accommodating in our check-in and check-out times. Everything inside was in good working order and the bed was very comfortable. My mother slept on the sofa bed; unfortunately, it was not as comfortable, so we did some switching around and my husband took the sofa. No biggy. We loved the patio/yard in back; tidy and very private. Also, it was nice to have a designated parking spot. Finally, proximity to restaurants and coffee shops was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend in San Diego
The property was just as advertised. Check in was easy, Mark provided easy instructions with pictures. We initially had some trouble connecting the tv to the WiFi, but Mark’s assistant responded very quickly to help us out. We could hear people running or moving things from the floor above at times, but overall it was a great place to stay and close to a lot of cool places to visit while we were in San Diego.
