We are from Arizona, and to escape the June heat, we rented this beautiful and functional one-bedroom, one-bath home with a full kitchen for 12 days. The private entrance suite is beautifully maintained, featuring an upgraded kitchen and bathroom. A few days before our trip, Santiago sent us simple instructions, and Gracy greeted us upon arrival. Parking was available on the street directly in front of the suite. The neighborhood was very quiet, with friendly people walking their dogs in the evenings. We brought our e-bikes and were initially concerned about security, but Gracy eased our anxiety. When we weren’t riding, we felt comfortable leaving our bikes locked on the front patio of the suite. The patio itself is eye-catching and secluded, surrounded by trees and lush foliage. It was lovely sitting outside in the evenings with a glass of wine, enjoying the cooler weather. The homeowners were quick to answer any questions and were very helpful. The home is perfectly located near the I-5 and I-805 off Highway 52, making everything in San Diego within a 30-minute drive. To sum up our stay: We’ve used VRBO for only one other property—a place on Long Island, NY, where we’ve stayed for many years. However, when you find a great place in a perfect location with wonderful hosts, you know you’ve struck gold. We will definitely stay here again during our hot Arizona summers.
