Great location

Our stay was great. Host was very responsive if we had any questions. We appreciated the extra snacks and waters as our kids are always hungry. The washer and dryer are located in the garage which makes parking an SUV inside impossible. However there was street parking right outside. Overall it was a great location for what we needed.

Centrally located, quiet and clean residence

Perfect for a couple, this clean and comfortable Hillcrest one bedroom suite was as advertised. The hosts were excellent to communicate with, and the check in process was seamless. The snacks and drinks were a bonus, and there was plenty of room in the suite for us. Would recommend this property for a couple and I would definitely return the next time I’m in San Diego.

Location is wonderful! The house needs a to be updated a bit. There is an annoying, constant squeaky sound from the unit above the couch that needs to be addressed. I don’t like that we have to pay a cleaning fee and yet strip the bed, take out the trash and do the dishes. Either lower the fee or include the after stay in the fee. The place is too small to warrant both.

Location, Location, Location and a really nice place

We spent the past two weeks in this apartment and had a wonderful time visiting tourist attractions and going out of the city area to the beaches, and parks. The zoo was less than 1/2 mile walking from our door to their gates. Driving times to anywhere in the city area to the border, Zoo Safari and the beaches was 15-25 minutes max. Entrances to the highway system were close by. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and charming with lots of craftsman houses. I found a walking trail cutting through the community in a small canyon. Vey cool. The apartment itself had everything we needed to cook and eat all our meals, full size fridge with ice and water dispenser, full stove/oven, coffee pot and toaster. the bed was very comfortable and the hot water was plentiful. We loved the full size washer/dryer in the garage. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and everything is maintained well. The owners left us a selectin of K-cups, snacks and bottled water gratis. Response from the owner on a small issue was impressive , polite and welcoming. For those who love BIG TVs - the TV in the living room will exceed your expectations. You can stream any service on it. We just signed into our regular services. No local TV or Cable access. Wi-Fi was speedy during the day and the evening. Our only issue was the fact that one of us is 5'2" tall and and the shower head and table-top seating were just a bit high for comfort. I am 5'4" and I was fine. Highly recommend

Cozy spot near Balboa Park.

The house is a great value for the area, with easy access to Balboa Park and the surrounding areas. The guidebook provided by the host was helpful, along with the snacks and coffee. One criticism is that the power seemed to fluctuate when running multiple appliances causing the TV and lights to dim. The bedroom shares a wall with the neighboring unit and the sound transmits pretty easily from the other unit, so ear plugs are recommended. I brought this up to the host and they were quick to let our neighbors know to keep it down at night. Water pressure was great, having access to a patio was a nice convenience as well. Overall this was the perfect spot for us and our two dogs.

Great Hillcrest location!

A very cute clean house with comfortable bed; just perfect for our short break. Having a garage is great so no worries about finding a parking spot. Complimentary coffee and snacks are much appreciated, as is Netflix TV. The best thing about this rental is the great location. The neighborhood is wonderful to walk around enjoying all the Craftsman homes and lush gardens. Five minutes walk to the zoo and Balboa Park. Ten minutes walk to the fab Hillcrest restaurants, Sunday Farmers Market and eclectic stores. Beaches and other attractions are a short drive. We loved it!
