Worked for my needs. Parking was challenging. There is a permit but it’s for street parking that was often challenging to find. Otherwise no complaints. Was as advertised. Responsive to any concerns.

Heart of Hillcrest

This is a hidden gem within the Hillcrest area of San Diego. Exactly as listed, perfectly located if you love to walk, like I do, then no need to rent a car. Short ten minute ride to the airport and very comfy for me and my partner.

Perfect conveniently sited private stay

Apart from noise from hospital and construction this was a delightful place to stay. We enjoyed the secure lot for our 2 well behaved dogs..beware of visiting skunk at night tho. We appreciated the locale..can walk to supermarkets a wide range of delicious eateries for when you dont want to cook. Everything that is needed for cooking is available and gas stove works wonderfully. We recommend this place.

Great location

Perfect place for a group of <2 adults and 1-2 small children. 2nd bed is a pullout in the living area. Space is limited, but has an outdoor courtyard for more space to spread out. Bathtub/shower is very small, but to be expected from a space this size.

Perfect little house and yard

We stayed for a month here and it was perfect for us and our little dog. The yard is fenced in and private so the dog could have some freedom. We cooked dinners and had all the pans and utensils we needed. The location is great, close to everything. We did lots of walking in the neighborhood with the dog and it felt safe with lots of other dog walkers around. Good restaurants nearby. Would definitely recommend this spot.

Great stay in San Diego

Everything was great. Street parking was not too difficult even when arriving back late at night. Awesome location to get anywhere. Lyft was less than $15 to go most places. You do hear a helicopter coming into and leaving the hospital from time to time, but it didn’t wake us up. Overall will stay again next time.

Cute, quirky, older GEM

This gem is an older mother-in-law style home. Compact, a bit quirky, well maintained, very clean, and stocked with all that you need in your home away from home. Location is perfect for visiting patients of UC San Diego Health hospital — as we were — just a three-block walk. The Hillcrest neighborhood to the south is full of good restaurants and shops, as well as San Diego’s “gayborhood.”

Needs some TLC

Adorable and quirky is accurate but it looses its charm with the rundown condition and furnishings.
