I have to come San Diego on business nine weeks out of the year. This is the only place I will stay. It is perfect for my needs. The property is clean and well cared for. The hosts are very responsive if there is a problem. It is a ten minute commute to my office in downtown San Diego. It is close to Balboa Park which is a great place to go for walks after work. It also has an assigned parking space. It's nice to know when you get home that you do not have to hunt for a place to park.

I come to San Diego three times a year for work. My office is in downtown San Diego. When I come to San Diego this is the only place I want to stay. It is clean and comfortable and has everything I need. It is a 10 minute commute to my office. The neighborhood is quiet. It has a large assigned parking space which is very convenient. The hosts are extremely helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this location.

Hillcrest stay
Unit was clean, super convenient location and having the parking space was wonderful. Love that we could walk to Balboa Park. Easy access to San Diego’s sights. Overall comfortable space. Two minor bits to be aware of as renters - one that the large TV in the king bedroom makes it difficult to get into the bed. Perhaps a smaller TV? The pull out couch was not very comfortable - but how many pull outs really are??

Location, location, location!
Our vacation was centered around going to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo so this property was perfect for our active family of 6 to walk to and from each day. It was clean and the owner was super quick to respond when we showed up and didn't quite have the access code. The picnic table overlooking the greenspace was nice to sit at and have a coffee in the morning before going out and adventuring. While the listing says it sleeps 6, it did not for us. I have 2 adult sons over 6' tall and 2 smaller children and the 2 queen beds and twin sofa didn't quite work for us. We ended up having one of the smaller kids sleep on the floor. Other than that, would recommend for a party of 5 or less. Especially if your plans include going to Balboa Park and/or the zoo.

We were looking for a location close to downtown/Balboa Park/airport, and this was just what we were looking for! A nice updated 2bdrm/1bath in a well kept neighborhood. A reserved parking spot was also a bonus. Excellent communication with the owners as well.

Great location and space
Great location - Quiet neighborhood and walking distance to the Zoo and Balboa Park. Space - small rooms and bathroom, but worked out fine for us because we were out a lot and only used the space to sleep and shower. Shower is trendy with one glass panel and difficult to reach in to turm on the water.

Cozy apartment
I enjoyed our stay here. It was in a convenient location to all the places that we wanted to enjoy. The place was pretty spacious and very clean. They even provided snacks and drinks for free which was a nice surprise. The couch also pulls out to be about a double size bed. And one parking spot was provided even thiugh there is plenty of street parking. I would definitely stay here again if I visit San Diego in the future.

Happy Accident
Booked this stay on a whim having no prior knowledge of San Diego. We knew we wanted two bedrooms close to the zoo, and this listing fit the bill. The listing met or exceeded all expectations, and we were happily surprised by how much we loved the Hillcrest neighborhood. Highly recommend this listing and would gladly rebook.

Quaint Home with Some Limitations
The nice vrbo in a quiet and safe neighborhood offered most amenities we needed, but there were some setbacks. The location was great, with everything we wanted to visit within a 20-minute drive. Host was very responsive, and home was kept clean and tidy. However, the property, advertised to sleep six, felt cramped for our party of four adults and one child. The dining table had only four chairs, making it uncomfortable to eat together. Moreover, the lack of sufficient condiments for cooking was a little disappointing. Nonetheless, we had a great time in San Diego and want to thank the host for letting us stay.!

Had a ton of special little touches
Great neighborhood, easy walk to fun coffee shops and restaurants. The little touches made it very special -- there was some coffee, chips, cookies, sodas already stocked and free to consume. There is also a washer / drier and detergent so you don't have to go home with everything dirty. Highly recommend this place.

Peaceful but close to Balboa Park fun
Great place to enjoy the quiet and still take a walk into Balboa Park to enjoy nature, museums, zoo or planetarium. The place was comfortable and clean. The host was very helpful and easy to reach. The only minor downside was the pull out sofa bed that dips when extended, but served its purpose. Overall, we will be back!

Work Trip to Downtown San Diego
I live out of state and have to come to San Diego a few times a year for a couple of weeks on business. I prefer to stay in a VRBO rather than a hotel. The location is perfect. a 10 minute commute to downtown. It's very close to Balboa Park with great places to walk. The unit is clean and comfortable with good appliances. I have stayed here twice and will continue to return when I am in San Diego.
