How much are rents in San Diego, 5 miles away from Downtown 2/2 bed/bath?

I live in a cool cottage near downtown that I just love. Bought it 5 yrs ago. It's in excellent condition ...however, there are stairs to get into the house leaving a relative unable to visit me, so I'm willing to rent my house and live somewhere else.

However, renting the house turned out to be a little bit of an ordeal. Every single person/couple who's seen the house wants it. It's a 2/2 bed/bath; fireplace, wood floors, large yard. House is 1,100 sq feet in a 5,000 lot. Its a nice neighborhood here, quiet and well kept. The house was built in the 1920s, but it has a modern feel to it due to architecture, color and furniture.

Of course, trying to get the most for my investment...and assuming that a higher rent will bring me good tentants who will take care of my house...I listed it originally at $1800 but increased rent to $1,950 and they still all want it.

Am I giving a super deal? I thought $1,800 was a lot to rent for...but I've never rented before. Any advice?
