About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Light & Bright Spanish-Style Beauty, 3 min to Zoo!

Summary:
UNBELIEVABLE LOCATION! Walkable to all that Balboa Park has to offer and a 3 minute drive to the world famous San Diego Zoo! This Spanish-style home comes fully equipped with everything you'd need for your stay & with tons of charm!

The Space:
2 bedrooms: one king bed, one queen bed. *Please note that you have to walk through the first bedroom to get to the second* (or use the back patio door for access to the second bedroom). The detached garage and long driveway provide plenty of parking. There is a BBQ grill and a wonderful outdoor dining and lounge set on astroturf for some fun in the sun! This unit is part of a duplex; you may encounter the guest in the neighboring unit, but there are no shared spaces other than the backyard.

Guest Access:
Guest access is completely contactless. You will be given a door code 3 days prior to check-in.

The Neighborhood:
Hillcrest is one of the hippest & most fabulous neighborhoods in San Diego. Rated as the most walkable neighborhoods in town with scores of bars, restaurants and cafes in close proximity. Plus you are mere minutes from the beach, airport, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Sea World, the Gaslamp, Little Italy and Petco Park.

Other Things to Note:
This unit is part of a duplex; there is a one-bedroom unit on the right side of the house. The backyard is shared with other guests

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Pets are welcome! Our standard pet fee is $100 (this may vary dependent on length of stay & type of pet). Please let us know if you will be bringing along your furry friend!

Lovely, but....
Lovely, comfortable home in a great location next to Balboa Park. But, the reason for 4 stars instead 5, is that we were disturbed by noisy leaf-blowing (which I find to be one of the most useless and obnoxious of human energy wastes) for several hours shortly after our arrival in the late afternoon. This was very surprising given that the "lawn" was entirely astroturf. Why not plant a native, California plants garden that supports a diversity of wildlife and provides more interest to humans as well, and "leave off the leaf-blowing."

Excellent location
Great location if you’re in town for activities in Balboa Park like the zoo and museums. House was clean and comfortable for our stay. Parking in SD is terrible so it was great to have off street parking if needed.

Great customer service.
This property is exactly as advertised. It’s a very convenient location, especially to the San Diego zoo and the fabulous Balboa Park. Above all, the customer service provided by Aaron was a real pleasure. He stayed connected and helpful as needed. I would highly recommend this property for your stay in San Diego.

Good location, clean house but noisy
The house was easy to find and access. It was clean and had everything we needed. The only problem we had was the noise coming from the streets around the house is extremely loud. The adjoining units tenants TV could be heard all night long. The walls are paper thin. Just be aware if you are a light sleeper like me you may have issues. I didn't sleep 3 of the 4 nights so we checked out early.

Perfect location and charming home
The location makes this an ideal jumping off point for all San Diego adventures. You can walk to the zoo, and proximity to the zoo means there's lots of Ubers nearby. The house is comfortable and clean and the hosts were so easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

The best stay ever
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home in San Diego and loved everything about it. Whoever wrote that last review about this home is so inaccurate and not true. The location was perfect and centrally located to everything in San Diego. The house offered everything we need. The cleanliness was suburb, and I can tell the host didn’t miss a thing. We enjoyed the living room space as well as back yard space to sit and have coffee. The host was very helpful and communication was great from the start. Check in was easy, parking was available and there’s even a washer and dryer to use. All in all we had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the house and the amenities. Loved being close to all things and I would definitely recommend this home and vacation rentals by Aaron to anyone needing a home in San Diego.
