- "Our small family of four (with kids 7 and 4 yo) had the best time here! Husband and I were treated to a large comfy bedroom with a wall hung tv. The kids had plenty of space on the sofa pull-out with access to their own tv. The double headed rain shower was delightful. After long days at the beach or zoo we came back to a beautiful outdoor space with seating and a well maintained hot tub. If that isn’t enough for you, we would order dinner and eat upstairs with a view of the sunset and a movie on the projector. It got cold at one point but we found the radiant heater on ceiling. Sooooo cozy! As a parent the best part of this stay was that the kids could roam freely without worry. It was very kid-safe. Also being able to park our car behind the remote gate gave us extra comfort. Not that we needed it, the neighborhood was very quaint and quiet at night. Case De Heights had endless amount of nice touches that we hadn’t even thought we needed. Owners, who responded quickly to messages, genuinely want you to have a nice time and it showed."

Lots of great local bars and restaurants within walking distance. Don't worry about the street parking, 8/10 times we found street parking right in front of the home. There is plenty of parking in the neighborhood. Beds were super comfortable and the bedrooms were beautiful. Bonus points for the washer and dryer combo! My favorite part of the house,was the coffee bar with the variety of Keurig cups, creamers, and sugars. Nothing better than arriving to your destination and the coffee situation has already been handled for you. I met the owner and he is fantastic. I had requested an early check in and without hesitation he was able to accomodate my family.

- "Initially I was a little worried that this location was too far from the zoo and downtown San Diego, but it was perfect. Close to the highway, so only about 10 - 20 minutes to the zoo and Petco Park, and 30 minutes from the Zoo Safari park. There’s a Rite Aid and Vons within walking distance, as well as a lot of restaurants. For fast food you’ll need to drive. The home itself was great. We had a family of 5, and more than enough towels and pillows for everyone, and I really appreciated that everything in the kitchen was labeled. There are many outlets with usb and c-usb ports throughout the home. Each room has their own AC unit with remotes to adjust the temp. TV’s are equipped to access Netflix, Disney +, etc. It’s great that there’s a parking spot in the back, though it can be little tricky to get out when all the spots are used. Andy sent detailed instructions on how to find the entrance, which really helped since it’s easy to miss. It was a great stay and we would definitely stay here again! Andy was quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you!"

- "We ABSOLUTELY loved everything about our stay here. I had a question right after booking and couldn’t believe how quick the response was, especially given that it was evening. Communication continued to exceed my expectations even after that. We loved the location! Not only was it right off the exit, but it was close to the beaches,Balboa park, restaurants, and great shopping. We also felt safe in the area. And speaking of safety, we loved the security of the parking garage, entrance to the building, and entrance to the room. The apartment was immaculate, well stocked, and everything felt fresh and new. The beds and pillows were EXTREMELY comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!"

- "The accommodations are perfectly situated near SDSU and served as a great base for my husband and I to move our son in and then visit him. Vanessa was very responsive to our communications; always responding within 5-10 minutes of our queries. The shared deck area with the grills, couches and propane fire places were a perfect area to hang out after a long move-in day. We will definitely consider staying again! The area is close to beaches (about 15-20 minute drive) and other places one might want to visit while in San Diego and easy to get to by car. "
