This is the prime location in Old Town San Diego with nearby access to the world famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World, Coronado, and slightly more distant access to Legoland and Wild Animal Park.
San Diego`s Old Town was the first European settlement on the West Coast and is known as the birthplace of California. The Historic Park encompasses 37 historic buildings. Three original adobe houses have been restored. The Casa de Machado y Silvas (aka `House of the Flag`) is where the Mexican flag was hidden from American troops during the Mexican-American War.
Mission Hills is an affluent neighborhood overlooking Old Town, Downtown San Diego and San Diego Bay. The area was developed in the early 20th century with homes designed by San Diego`s premier architects including William Hebbard and William Templeton Johnson. Most of the homes today are restored and carefully preserved. The famous horticulturalist Kate Sessions, founder of the renowned Mission Hills Nursery, influenced the development of Mission Hills.
Because we don`t have parking, we usually suggest to our guests that they don`t rent a car and try using Uber/Lyft/Public transportation instead. Our home is just 10 minutes away from San Diego Airport. $9-$12 ride with Uber.
Every other sightseeing or hot spot in San Diego is a short drive from the property, can`t beat the convenience of this location. 10 minute car ride to downtown, beaches, Little Italy, Hillcrest, Sea World, Balboa Park or the Zoo. 10 minute walk to Historic Old Town where transit center offers the trolley, taxis, trains or buses.
This is Old Town. It`s very residential and also very touristic. Most people love it.
If you are close-minded or looking for a `traditional American suburb` style, this will not be a good fit.
There might be some noise from the highway and the planes, but really and HONESTLY very light noise. You can hear it when standing outside in the garden. They become totally unnoticeable when inside the home.
AIR CONCIERGE
Airbnb House Rules
YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US
Your reservation is a direct contract with Air Concierge, Inc., as manager for the homeowner. These House Rules are its terms, together with our Guest Terms page (site footer, `Terms and Conditions: Guest Terms`), which apply only where they do not conflict with these Rules. Where the booking platform`s own policies permit it to cancel a reservation or issue a refund, those policies control between you and that platform; otherwise these Rules decide what is owed, and we may pursue any unpaid balance. If you booked anywhere other than Airbnb, your reservation is also governed by the Air Concierge Rental Agreement you sign before check-in, which controls if it conflicts with these Rules. Stricter HOA, city or permit rules control where they apply.
IF SOMETHING ISN`T RIGHT — TELL US FIRST
This is a privately owned home, not a hotel. No staff are on site. It is cleaned and inspected before you arrive, and things change between a morning clean and an afternoon arrival.
Message us as soon as you notice anything. We use best efforts to respond in real time and to start work as fast as we can; some repairs need a part or a licensed trade and take longer.
If we fix it, or give you a reasonable workaround, within a reasonable time, no refund or credit is due.
If a problem makes the home unfit to occupy or removes a major part of its use, and we cannot fix or substitute it in a reasonable time, we credit the nights actually affected, offer comparable accommodation if available, or reschedule.
Please don`t leave without telling us. We can`t credit a problem we were never given a chance to solve.
WHAT WE DON`T REFUND FOR — examples, not a complete list
Insects, spiders, webs, rodents, wildlife and birds native to the area, and pest treatment. Wind, dust, sand, pollen, ash, smoke, haze or debris, including on decks, patios, furniture, pools and spas. Weather of any kind, and the travel conditions it causes - snow on the road, chain controls, delays, or a drive you would rather not make. If a government order closes the only access route so that you cannot reach or occupy the home, that is handled under force majeure below. Seasonal changes to views, foliage, water levels, snow, lake or beach conditions, or landscaping. A missed housekeeping detail found after arrival - a dish put back not fully clean, a missed spot, a stray hair. Ordinary wear, minor marks, dated furnishings, or decor differing from photos where the home is substantially as described. Noise, light or activity from neighbors, construction, road work, traffic, aircraft, agriculture or community events. Slow, intermittent or reduced internet, Wi-Fi, cable, streaming or cellular service. Speed and performance are not guaranteed and no home is guaranteed suitable for streaming, gaming or video calls. Interruption of any utility or service caused by the provider, including public safety power shutoffs. Amenity items - Wi-Fi, TV, BBQ, fireplace, game room, a small appliance. HOA, city, resort or utility restrictions and closures. Scheduled maintenance, landscaping, pool service or vendor visits. Illness, changed plans, work, flight delays or non-arrival.
None of the above is a force majeure event, however it is described. Force majeure applies only where an order or a physical impossibility prevents you from reaching or occupying the home - a mandatory evacuation order, a government order closing the home or the only access route to it, loss of safe access, or an uncurable loss of an essential utility - and the remedy is a credit for the nights occupancy was impossible. Bad driving conditions, a road that is slow or requires chains, and a decision not to travel are not force majeure.
WHAT TO EXPECT — LOCAL AND SEASONAL CONDITIONS
We disclose all of the following for every home we manage, whether or not any of it happens during your stay, so that none of it comes as a surprise.
Neighborhood. These are privately owned homes in real neighborhoods, not resorts. You may encounter dogs barking, roosters and other animals, landscaping crews and leaf blowers, pool and spa service, trash and recycling collection, construction and remodeling, road work, traffic, delivery vehicles, aircraft, sirens, church and school bells, street parking pressure, neighbors` gatherings, and community events. Some homes sit near beaches, ski areas, golf courses, marinas, agricultural land, flight paths or main roads, each with its own noise, light, traffic and seasonal activity.
Insects and wildlife. Every region has them and they are seasonal. Depending on the home and the time of year you may see spiders and webs, ants, bees and wasps, moths, flies, mosquitoes, scorpions, lizards, geckos, rodents, raccoons, coyotes, deer, birds nesting in eaves, and marine or lake life. Homes near water, forest, desert or open land see more of it. We treat and monitor on a schedule and we will respond if something is out of the ordinary, but their presence is normal and expected.
Air, wind and dust. Desert and mountain homes get wind, blowing sand and dust, and it settles on decks, patios, outdoor furniture, windows, pools and spas between cleanings. Spring brings pollen. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and haze across much of the West, and air quality can change day to day.
Weather and season. Snow, ice, chain controls, rain, heat waves, cold snaps, marine layer and fog, king tides, monsoon storms and seasonal closures all occur in the markets we serve. Views, water levels, snow cover, foliage and beach conditions change with the season and will not always match photographs taken at another time of year.
