Guest Access:
You can access the whole home, plus the side patio which includes a large outdoor sectional plus grilling area and an overhead sun umbrella to stay in the shade!

Getting Around:
The best way to get around is by Uber or Lyft ride share services. There is no assigned parking so once you park your car you may find it easier to taxi. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also use one of the many rideshare scooters found throughout the neighborhood such as Bird, Jump or Lime.

Other Things to Note:

Please note, we provide a starter pack of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. For longer stays, we recommend bringing your own toiletries, as these supplies are not replenished during your stay.

Guests may have packages delivered to the property during their reservation dates. However, we strongly advise coordinating deliveries for when you are on-site to receive them. The host cannot be held responsible for any packages that are lost, stolen, or damaged prior to or during your stay.

Pets are welcome with prior approval and additional $125 pet fee.
**No pets without prior written approval. If you're bringing a pet, you must follow airbnb's pet rules: dispose of all pet waste properly, never leave pet unattended in the home or backyard, and keep dogs leashed when walking them outside of the home.

San Diego now requires all guests to sign a Good Neighbor Policy document prior to staying. We do enforce their policy so it must be signed in order to receive checkin info, but we will make it super easy for you to initial and sign :) It can all be done online.

Perfect location for a long San Diego weekend

The unit was clean and quiet. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for adult family members traveling together. Good location: very near Balboa Park (museums and zoo), a short drive from Coronado and beaches; an easy trip up the coast to La Jolla and Torrey Pines State Park. Lots of hiking, sightseeing and restaurants within easy reach.

Great week stay

The house was as described, very easy to find and get in. We really enjoyed the location. 3 minutes drive to the San Diego zoo, walking distance to a bunch of stores, 15 minutes or less drive to downtown and airport, 15 minute drive to multiple beaches. The neighborhood was very clean and quiet. We would definitely stay again.

Can’t beat the location!

Well worth booking just based on location. The comfy beds, 2 bathrooms and privacy only add to the appeal. Also, hosts were super communicative.Only drawbacks:1. Description says “ample parking” but please don’t expect to drive up and find a space. No matter which day or time we arrived, we had to drive up and down the road at least a few times at least (be prepared to parallel park). Will say we always found a spot eventually2. Apartment is “surface clean.” Found dirt/hair on baseboards, showers, doors, etc. It could use a deep cleanBut, still, overall super happy with our stay!Thank you!

Small house with big upside

The house is prefect for a family of 4 and while it was a challenge to find at first it is straight forward. Parking on the street can be a challenge as there is little of it and lots of apartments, but if you are creative you can make it happen. Over all nice experience

Visiting our son in San Diego

This little house is great It's a 1 mile walk into North Park business district and there are a few restaurants that are even closer. The neighborhood is very hilly though, so walking is a little more strenuous than I hoped it would be. Uber pick ups were always very quick. My husband and I loved having 2 bathrooms and the AC worked great!

Close to Balboa Park

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is close to Balboa park which has many museums and sites to see. The beds in the house were comfortable. We didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed well stocked. The only downside was parking. Perhaps if you live in CA or the big city, the parking is a normal situation. But there is no designated spot. We were able to find a spot each time, but it did require us to drive around for a few minutes before we found one.

Great Homebase for a Week in San Diego

The property was perfect for my wife and me, plus our son. The house was very clean and ready for immediate use when we arrived. The location was centrally located so that we could access the Zoo and Balboa Park in just minutes and other things we usually wanted to do in under 15 minutes. One afternoon when we returned to the house, the electronic lock had died, but the management team was on the spot, and we were back in the house in less than 10 minutes. We could not have had a better experience. Highly recommend this property if you plan on being in San Diego. You will need to be able to parallel park if you want to park near the house, so just be prepared.
