Beautiful place to stay.

Beautiful place and neighborhood. Only draw back is parking can be tricky and a bit of a walk. Home is excellent and great communication with the host and needs. Short commute to balboa park and beaches.

Fine, but it could be better

The location was pretty nice. Everything was 10-15 minutes of where we wanted to go. Now, the couches looked like they could use a cleaning. Apart, from that it was okay even though we got reservation super last minute.

Place is okay……the manager did not respond to any emails I sent regarding internet and missing items……they were more concerned that I leave a 5 star review…..

Bright and Functional Apartment

My daughter loved the bright color of this home and we loved how it had everything we needed! The bathroom was the star with a wonderful spa shower. We didn’t have many issues finding parking. We had two issues when we arrived and Doreen had them resolved within 24 hours. Like most VRBO properties, there are no curtains in the bedrooms (only privacy shades), so recommend you bring your own blackout curtains if you need it very dark to sleep.

Why they chose this property

Casa San Diego 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.

Bedrooms include 2 with queen-size beds and one in addition with a twin-over-twin. A fold-out sofa sleeps 2 more for up to 8 guests total - perfect for multi-family trips and couples getaways. You can pack light: there’s a coin-operated washer and dryer in the basement.

Take your morning coffee to the balcony, which has a view of North Park. Gather for a BBQ in the backyard (shared with the other two units) with a BBQ grill, outdoor seating, yard games...even a hammock. Or cook inside: the kitchen is fully equipped and stocked as completely as my own kitchen at home.

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

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

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 North Park’s neighborhood vibe, even though it’s just 3 miles from downtown and The Gaslamp. 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!

No need to worry about a car. 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.

What makes this property unique

“Casa San Diego” is our fun and colorful 2 bedroom and 1-bath apartment including a balcony with amazing views, a fireplace and backyard with BBQ in historic and trendy North Park that sleeps up to 8.

Just 3 miles from downtown and around the corner from public transport, taking you to all of San Diego “must-sees” like the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, as well as the sun-drenched beaches that make us famous.
