3BR - 3Bth near San Diego Gaslamp Beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)

"For the most part we enjoyed our stay. The property owner was quick to respond, address any needs, and accommodating with requests. Parking can be challenging and other residents did not abide to quiet hours. Was surprised that there wasn't any air-conditioning, but that was an oversight on our behalf, as its not listed as an amenity provided."

"Very cool little beach spot. The decor adds to the beach feel. Hot water and comfy bed. Nice little touches like beach towels. It has a very cozy feel. The parking is a bit tight, but in san diego, everywhere is tight parking. I was able to fit a 16' ford mustang in the spot, the key is just to reverse in and be careful. Id definetly stay here again. Steps from the beach."
