About The Owner

Greg and Megan 'Gregan' just got married in Cabo on September 1, 2012! We love San Diego and live in North County. Megan decorates as a hobby and Greg plays beach volleyball. We love to share our favorite places with people who are new to San Diego.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2007
Why The Owner chose San Diego

We chose Aloft on Cortez Hill because it is an Oliver McMillan (OM) building. OM buildings use concrete instead of wood construction so the units are quieter and safer. You can immediately tell that OM went the extra mile to create quality and style. The vibe at Aloft is cool and relaxed; ZEN.

What makes this condo unique

The city must have asked the builders to do something for the community in exchange for the property because they built a super cool little park and jungle gym for kids. The project is called 'Tweet Street' and is focused on drawing kids, birds and butterflys. They don't exactly drown out the airplane noise when you are outside but we dig the integration of city, nature, and urban living.

Owners were extremely responsive to our initial request for information and very helpful throughout our stay, providing additional information about local restaurants and events, and making sure that all of our needs were met. Return of deposit was also very quick.

The loft is great and was the perfect distance to Gaslamp. Close enough to walk, but far enough away to get away from the nightlife for some peace and quiet at night. Love the high ceilings and the floor to ceiling windows, too.

Great condo for downtown San Diego

5 of 5
Submitted: April 30, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
The unit was exactly as advertised and shown in the photographs. Spacious and beautifully decorated it was a great place to spend a relaxing weekend together. Located on the top of Cortez Hill, the condo is equidistant from Little Italy and the Gaslamp Quarter, both within easy walking distance (< 1 mile). Coming home after a night out is a bit of a climb, maybe a cab would have been in order?

The owners (we met Greg) were great, very professional but also accessible and available with advice and help. When we were ready to depart after parking our car for the whole weekend we found the battery had died. Greg was on mission as soon as I called and had a solution for our jump start within minutes. They meet and greet when you arrive, showing the ins and outs of the condo, and they come to your rescue when you need it, couldn't ask much more from some great VRBO hosts. We look forward to our next trip to San Diego and staying at this condo.

Perfect stay for anyone looking for a great nights sleep close to the action in San Diego California

I am very grateful for the opportunity to stay at a very comfortable large loft apartment. The 16 ft ceilings in the open living room were nice to wake up to every morning. Everything looks new and the development is immaculate. VERY Clean! Just like a suite at a hotel. The best part for me was the quiet. No hall way noises, no adjacent room noises like those in a hotel. And the bed was 1000% better than a hotel. I sleep terribly at hotels. Slept like a baby here, unlike other hotels in the Gaslamp that require earplugs to sleep because of the live music on the street level. This unit is about 10 minute walk to the north edge of Gaslamp. Never took a cab and I had to go to a class every morning at Front and Broadway. It was good to get out and walk. To the north of the unit is Balboa Park, a 5 minute walk away. I wish I could find this caliber accommodations every time I travel for work. I will certainly look at VRBO first for my next job related trip. My security deposit was refunded the same day I left! Top notch owners, my sincere thanks! : )

This condo/loft exceeded my expectations. It is well furnished/appointed with great bi-level floor to ceiling windows overlooking Balboa Park. The condo is clean with great amenities. It is stocked with everything you could possibly want. The building is well maintained and kept spotless. The pool, hot tub, bonfire area, grilling and work out area is private and always perfect. Quiet building located at the top of Cortez Hill. The perfect area in the city of San Diego, walking distance to Little Italy, Gaslamp, the entire bay area. We were extremely happy with this condo/loft. We will go back!

Our family of four with two teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your loft. It was spotless and was just as described on the website. Even many extras. There was plenty of room for us all. Any questions or concerns were answered almost immediately. Great central location. Walking distance to lots of great restaurants and Balboa Park. Loved the farmer's market. Would definitely recommend this place to others.
