About this property

Entire place

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

The Hideaway of Silver Terrace

This ground level, tucked away unit is in a very central neighborhood of San Diego and is minutes away from most of San Diego's major attractions.

Guest access is controlled by an electronic lock that uses a pin number that is provided to the guess upon arrival. Guests will have access to the backyard bbq'ing area.

The host can be an interactive as the guests desire. Upon arrival, the if the host is available he generally will try to meet the guests to welcome them. From time to time he is unable to meet them and when this occurs the guests are free to enter the house immediately up on arrival.

The little known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego is called Silver Terrace. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.

Morena Vista Trolley stop is located within a 5-minute walk from the house. From there, it's possible to go to Little Italy, the Gaslamp District, Fashion Valley, Qualcomm Stadium, and even further east out to SDSU.

This is the ideal place for a couple due to it's location to so many family friendly attractions San Diego has to offer. Additionally, for longer term stays that require the use of laundry services, the host will provide the washer and dryer located in the unit's garage free of charge.

Nice place, excellent area!

Jimmy’s stay was perfect for my friend and I’s quick girls trip to SD! He was very communicative and even accommodated an early luggage drop off for us since our flight arrived in the morning.The property was conveniently located and a quick 10-20 min drive to most places around the city. As two girls traveling alone, we also felt very safe and comfortable.The space was more than enough for the two of us (we were mainly there to just sleep and get ready), though it might be a tighter squeeze for a family. We definitely appreciated the booklet of clear check in and check out instructions and recommendations around the area!A couple things that would have been nice were a coffee table in front of the couch and shelving in the shower so we didn’t have to leave our toiletries on the floor.Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend and stay again! Thank you!!

Affordable and basic.

The Hideaway located at Silver Terrace is a great location which is close to the city, Old Town, Little Italy, beaches and Sea World. Nice neighborhood. A great walking place is the University of San Diego nearby - beautiful. The building is actually 3 units, two on ground level and one above. We stayed in the lower unit around back. It was fine, but we thought that some simple improvement to the living area might help like lamps, a coffee table and cosy chair next to the sofa. Otherwise everything was fine. We especially liked the use of the backyard with a large table, lots of chairs and a shade umbrella (which needs repair). The yard is very private and the place is very quiet even with a whole family upstairs of us.

Seaworld / Zoo trip

The property was lovely and in a very quiet neighborhood, had our own parking spot, felt very safe. We walked to a local donut shop every morning as recommended in a book made by the property owners. Close to everything we went to San Diego for would stay here again.

Place near UCSD

Great and safe location although a little far from groceries and shop. Great YMCA near by with indoor and outdoor 25 yard pools (you can even get two free passes to 'try it out'). Cleanness 4/5 but was quickly addressed by property manager. Looks like the regular cleaner person was out on vacation and the replacement was not as detailed oriented. Walls/floors are thin and can hear neighbors upstairs when they arrive late night. Earplugs will do the job if you are sensitive to sound (like me). Was there for a conference downtown. Commuter train is nearby (10 min walk), but does not run regularly outside rush hour.
