CasaViva Garden - 2BR with Firepit, S'mores & Kids Playset - Walk to Eats, Near Zoo, SeaWorld & Balboa Park

Location and Doreen is a super host!

Not much

It was a great place to travel with my family. The pattern on the white wall with octopus legs is very nice. It was nice to be able to do laundry in the middle of the trip. The owner contacted us kindly before traveling, on the day of arrival, and after use. :)

I had to go down two floors down the stairs, so it was inconvenient to move a large load.

Excellent location! The apartment was very comfy and clean.

It would've been nice to not have to leave till 11 AM. 10 AM was a little too early.

Nice property with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bath. Beautiful view out of the dining area and great water pressure. We also utilized the kitchen and dishwasher, which was handy.

The host uses automated messaging and was not responsive. We got all the info we needed for check in and check out and little else. The property is a bit musty smelling and could use better towels.

Cute property and location. Spacious and clean. We expected this to be a very quiet unit because of the noise rules but did not understand this unit was below another unit. The unit above was very noisy. We appreciated the owners responding to our concerns but would not stay here again in case someone is loud above us. If you are looking for a quiet stay, you may take the risk that someone is noisy above you, as there are 1-2 other units above it. Location was nice and easily walkable/street parking available.

Bed was very comfortable

The smoke detector in the northern bedroom went off at 4am scaring our kids and no sign of any smoke, could smell any smoke. Might want to check on that smoke detector.

It’s close to the zoo and pretty much everything we did was walking distance even though we chose to drive.

The unit is on the bottom floor so you here everything the family above you is doing.

The washing facilities

Not enough towels Basic supply was missing like sugar, tea bags, milk, oil,

Excellent accommodation.

Parking was only bad thing. Fills up and had to walk 3 blocks to find a spot

Very clean and had everything you would need for a short or long stay. Close to the zoo and some excellent eats.

Nothing.
