❤️Casa California-Spacious 3Bdr Gaslamp/Zoo/Beach

This spacious, colorful and stylish 3 bedroom apartment is the perfect home base to enjoy San Diego! Located in North Park all the fun places (Zoo, Gaslamp, Balboa Park and Beaches) are just around the corner and conveniently reachable by public transport.

Downtown (The Gaslamp) with bars/clubs is just 3 miles away or just stay in for a night, cook away in the fully stocked kitchen or enjoy a BBQ with a view on the balcony.

Located in North Park all the fun places (Zoo, Gaslamp, Balboa Park and Beaches) are just around the corner and conveniently reachable by public transport.

You have your pick of coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques just a few blocks away. Easy public transport is just around the corner, taking you to downtown and all places San Diego. Uber rides are quick and convenient, too, getting you into downtown in less than 5 minutes.

This apartment rental is one of 3 that I own/operate within this updated 100-year-old building. Have some friends coming with you to SD? Rent all 3 apartment to sleep up to 24 guests total. Multiple kitchens and living areas are a bonus for a big group.

Bedrooms include 2 with queen-size beds and one with a twin-over-queen bunk bed. 2 sofas sleep 2 more for 8 or 9 guests total - perfect for multi-family trips and couples getaways.

Both queen-size bedrooms let you keep your luggage out of the way, thanks to big walk-in closets. But you can pack light: there’s a coin-operated washer and dryer in the basement.

Take your morning coffee to the balcony, which has an unobstructed view of North Park, spend the day exploring and then gather for a BBQ in the backyard or on the balcony or cook inside: the kitchen is fully equipped and stocked as completely as my own kitchen at home.

This rental was designed to be lively, colorful, and inviting, with its own California flavor. Lots of primary colors and fun patterns in the bedrooms and living area, plus rich hardwood floors and mid-century-inspired design -- like the 8-person dining table with tulip chairs. All of the other furnishings are brand-new, too.

Other goodies at the apartment: Free WiFi throughout, air-conditioning, and a flat-screen TV with Netflix.

Take your morning coffee to the balcony, which has an unobstructed view of North Park. Gather for a BBQ on the balcony or cook inside: the kitchen is fully equipped and stocked as completely as my own kitchen at home.

Stay in or head out; eat, drink and play in North Park, Hillcrest or downtown in the Gaslamp; relax on the balcony and enjoy the sweeping views. And most importantly - have fun! (And let me know how I can help.)

You will have this entire apartment and its balcony to yourself. The backyard is shared with the other two units in the building.

I'm just a e-mail, text message, or call away! I can guide you through the check-in process, as well as answer any questions you have while you’re here. San Diego is my favorite city in the world, and I live for helping guests discover why I love it so much.

My neighborhood, North Park, is one of San Diego’s most historic and funky places to be. It's home to artists, local businesses, a Farmers Market, craft beer, wine bars, sushi spots, handmade ice cream, and your pick of brunch options. Guests love the Hillcrest and North Park’s neighborhood vibe. If you want a bit more, it’s just 3 miles from downtown and The Gaslamp and the Convention Center. Century-old architecture and the ringing of church bells during the day in North Park add to its historic feel. And my house fits right in!

Nice place In a Nice Location
We rented this house for a long weekend while in town for a friend's wedding, and it was great. The house was nice and everything was very smooth, plus it was walking distance to a few fun neighborhoods (if you don't mind a 20-30 minute walk, which we like to do so we can get to know the areas) and an easy car ride anywhere you could want to go. Would stay again!

Great location & price, with subtle drawbacks
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this property, especially for the price. This would be a great location for a small family or even a group of a few couples. The property is as described, but every photo is made to look perfect. Things aren't bad, they're just closer to good than great. The most notable disappointment was that the backyard space, especially the grill, is not really great for guests to use. Yes, I'd stay here again for the location and price, but it was not as perfect as it seems at first blush.

Needs Major Work
Sad to see such a filthy home listed on this website. The house has more dust and cobwebs than should be allowed. Countertops and most surfaces were sticky, particularly the kitchen. The towels provided felt more like sandpaper than an actual towel. We tried to coordinate with the property owner but they weren't responsive. We could not find the laundry unit until we left and that's because it's on another floor that we did not have easy access to. The walls are covered in dirt and what appears to be shoe marks. Needs a severe paint job and quite a bit of TLC. Also wanted to mention that parking is a real nightmare. Not a family friendly property because it's incredibly uncomfortable and a bit dangerous with the back patio. Location was great because we were close to major points, but we would not stay here again if we returned to San Diego.

Great location
This apartment has incredibly easy access to everything in Balboa Park and is simple to get to from major highways. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance. It is well decorated although showing the wear of constant use. Whether it's because of more people working from home due to COVID or just because the listing verbage is older, parking is NOT ample, any time of day. Be prepared to either lurk for someone leaving or park two or three blocks away, and to stand outside to wait if you order food for delivery.

Perfect vacation home
This apartment is well situated for San Diego's tourist attractions as it has good bus links, which meant we didn't have to hire a car. The apartment design made it feel like a bungalow with its veranda. We had a great family holiday.

The property was very nice, clean, and Central.
The only small thing that hampered my experience was the strictness of the rules. I did feel that the host was a little overbearing with regard to reminding me about the rules and even changing them to be more strict than the listing. With that said, i would recommend staying here, especially if the host would soften a bit on the regulations.

Loved the location!
This was our first VRBO rental.....so much better than a hotel. More space, more beds for our big family and the kitchen was great too. My only complaint that renters need to be aware of is the parking.....we never really found anything in front of the rental...a couple days I had to make a few laps around to find a space. Other than the parking....great location, close to the zoo and great views from the patio!

Wonderful place to stay.
My husband, five kids ages 3-10 and I just finished up our vacation at this amazing property. Having never rented a home and this being our first vacation, I was a bit nervous. I was so pleased with our stay. It was perfectly decorated and spacious for our family of 7. We were able to utilize the backyard to bbq, the laundry room for our wet beach clothes and the kitchen was great for homemade meals. We made so many great memories here and the location is absolutely perfect to get to all the fun activities SD is known for. Not to mention the view of SD at night from our balcony was extremely beautiful. Communication with Doreen was also a breeze. Should anything arise or you need to contact her she was very prompt in her reply. If our family ever vacationed in San Diego again we will be certain to stay here.

Amazing!
It was my first time getting a VRBO, and I was a bit nervous about it, but they made it such a natural process. I felt welcomed at all times and communication was outstanding. I had flight issues, and they were extremely helpful, and I forgot to pack a couple of important things in the house, I was able to contact them, and they mailed them out that same night. I am very impressed with their customer service. I am planning to go back!

Stayed for a long weekend with our two year old and both his Grandma's. What a great spot! The size was just right and everything was neat and clean. The location is perfect - walking distance to the zoo and museums. North Park is a great area just a little further in the other direction. Thanks!

Cute and Quiet Spot in the City
Checkin was easy, and we had a relaxing time at the property. Only issue was parking! Parking was a nightmare..oh and the city gave me a citation for parking when there was street sweeping. Besides the parking issues, everything was perfect. Neighbors were polite, and nothing wierd going on at night. We felt safe. Home was small and cute with everything we needed. No regrets!
