We loved this place and plan to stay here when we return to San Diego. Very clean, comfortable beds, and fantastic location. We were able to walk to grocers and multiple restaurants. Driving to other areas of the city was very easy. Highly recommend!!

Great location

We were in town visiting our Marine son. We’ve been to San Diego several times to see him and try different locations. This was an easy spot to get to Little Italy and other fun spots also walkable to other restaurants and places. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything you need!

Very well appointed rental. So many thoughtful touches, great information, full kitchen. Small but good layout. Great location, great to have parking. Busy street and noise that comes with it, trade off for convenient city location.

Quick Visit to San Diego

This unit was very clean and fully stocked. It was a perfect unit for small family or 2 couples. Accessible to major areas and roads - and included parking. Only drawback is a very tight parking space behind the unit which was made tricker by parked cars next to the unit. Walkable to Vons (grocery) and restaurants.

Convenient Location, Nice Property

This property was a great home base for our San Diego vacation. The location was great. It was an easy walk to pick up some essentials from the grocery store, just a couple of blocks away, and we also walked to several fantastic restaurants nearby. The parking spot was convenient, as was access to get around to major roads and highways. Inside, we appreciated movie nights on the couch and game nights around the dining table. The kids thought the LED lights in the fireplace was so cool! We had one rainy day during our stay, and it was convenient to be able to wash and dry our wet clothes with the in-unit laundry. Overall great place to stay!

We loved our stay here. The location was awesome. We were here for my son’s baseball tournament & this house was centrally located to everything we did. We could also walk to Vons & Starbucks. We would definitely stay here again.

San Diego Stay

Good location for getting all around town. Property was just as shown in the listing and worked well for the two of us. As others have said there is some traffic noise on the street in front but by closing the bedroom door and putting the provided sound machine on it really helped to minimize. Would stay here again

Hidden gem in Hillcrest

This is a great stay in Hillcrest! It's clean and the beds are shockingly comfortable. The rooms come with sound machines, but we didn't need them. The kitchen is also well-stocked and I appreciate that they had safe cookware (not just non-stick). Also an easy walk to so many great places to eat.

Nothing short of AH-MAZING

Adrian's communication coupled with this excellent property made our stay one of our best ever!!!! Every detail was thought through….there is a Von's right up the street which made it super convenient. The house was spotless and the parking space was perfect. I wil 100% rent from these incredible peeps again!!!! :)

Beautiful & Comfortable Property

I was impressed and so enjoyed staying in the place. I was relieved to have a parking space too. The place was minimally and tastefully decorated. The condo had everything we needed, although we didn't cook during our short stay. I enjoyed the warmth and coziness of the fireplace. I will try to stay here again when I'm in San Diego in March '25. The only things I'd change would be decrease the bright lighting in the bathroom, although it wasn't the worst (just very bright) and I'd tighten up the welcome instructions regarding access the front door code. It was a wondrous condo that I'd highly recommend folks check out.

Fantastic San Diego Stay

This newly remodeled place is exactly as pictured. We had 2 adults and 2 teens and had plenty of cozy space. I have never stayed at a rental with as many kitchen utensils! Super quiet, blackout shades, amazing WiFi. Walking distance to grocery & restaurants. Hosts were super helpful and kind. Highly recommend.

Good things come in small packages

The location of this unit was perfect to get back and forth to SDSU and the surrounding areas. Easy on and off the highways. Hillcrest is a great family location with many food and shopping options. The only hard part was deciding which of the many restaurants we wanted to try. Beautiful modern space. The only down side was the one bed was extremely firm. I would definitely stay here again.
