About this property

Beautiful Bungalow Near Balboa Park, Zoo, Downtown/Convention Center, & Ocean

The home is in the heart of Golden Hill, A mile from the Gas Lamp District, and close to other desirable places in San Diego like Little Italy, Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. We are in a metro neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and public transportation. A number of beaches are a 10 minute drive away.

The kitchen is fully stocked and comes complete with an 8 burner Bluestar gas stove.

The house has 2 bedrooms: Bedroom 1: 1 king and Bedroom 2: 1 queen. The living room also has a pull out couch. Bedrooms are cozy with all linens provided.

Private backyard with sectional sofa, fire pit, BBQ grill.

We think it's important to mention that staying in our home will be a unique experience. It's a home built in 1905, it has quirks, cracks, and creaks but we do our best to keep it maintained and well cared for. We expect our guests to be respectful of our home, patient, and understanding that since this is not a hotel, there is not a round the clock staff, so we expect a level of self-sufficiency and flexibility from our guests. That being said, it's an awesome home, in a great location and neighborhood, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Guests are permitted to use the front yard and back yard where the al fresco dining, hammock, and fire pit are. House guests also have access to a driveway that has up to 3 tandem parking spaces.

Check-in/out is completely remote. Check-in is at 4 PM. Check out is at 11 AM. We are available by phone, text, or email but will not be on-site.

Why they chose this property

B St Bungalow is a historic and charming bungalow in an urban area of San Diego, called Golden Hill. The home is within walking distance to a few restaurants, stores, and parks but we are also very accessible to all the other wonderful things about San Diego, like the zoo, Balboa Park, and many fabulous beaches. Of course when you are not out sightseeing we have tried to equip the house with all the creature comforts of home while you're resting at the house.
