Reviewer Comments:
If you don't mind working with TurnKey, who apparently runs a security check on you, and doesn't offer refunds of down payments, and who sends you lots of messages and leaves you branded notes like a mother hen ("Please lock the doors and windows! - TurnKey"), and whose systems and app don't work with VRBO's even though they cross-list on VRBO's site, this place itself is quite good. A little impersonal, but pleasant and practical. It's a renovated older building that is now sort of like an upper midrange hotel on the inside, with good linens and everything shiny and clean. Loudish planes fly overhead, but I think that's common in this city. The grassless yard unfortunately featured in the photos is also a local norm. The advertised citrus trees are skinny new plantings, but even so they're kind of fun and they do bear fruit. The rooms are large, the furnishings are new and comfortable, and the location in a quiet neighborhood is surprisingly close to San Diego attractions like the zoo, the harbor, and the beach (assuming you can dodge traffic). We stayed for only a few days, but I can see making a week of it with the family and feeling comfortable and at home.
