Comfortable and Clean

I know you've already read this, but yes, it's clean, which I appreciate. Guests were my husband and me and our adult son, his wife, and their 4 year old daughter. Being close to Balboa Park definitely a perk, and we were an Uber ride away from family. The treats and drinks are a nice touch (thank you!). We were mostly there in the morning and evening to sleep, and it was very comfortable and quiet. Hard to believe we were in a multi-unit building. Thanks for your responsiveness when we had a question about how to work the AC. Little did we know that would be the only time we would use it - San Diego had a little burst of winter while we were there. Great spot, imho best for 4 guests (the single bathroom would get crowded).

Perfect Stay Near Balboa Park!

We had a wonderful stay at the Beautiful Hillcrest Canyon View property! The location was perfect — walking distance to Balboa Park and close to the San Diego Zoo, which made it very convenient for our trip. The property was extremely clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The check-in process was smooth and easy, with clear instructions provided ahead of time. Overall, we had a five-star experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego. Thank you for a great stay!

Great location

My family had a great time visiting the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park which was so close to this home. We could easily take a zoo break and eat lunch at home, picking up food from a selection of so many nearby restaurants. Grocery shopping was also easy with several local choices within 10 minutes. Host was quick to respond to questions and provided helpful snacks and drinks for when we didn’t have time the first night to shop yet.

lovely small apartment in quiet neighborhood close to hillcrest and zoo

we had a great time staying here. it's a quiet neighborhood and in walking distance of coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. the zoo and park are nearby. the stairs are steep and the screen door opens towards them which requires you to take care so as not to fall. beds are comfortable and.couch is comfy for sleeping

Great stay!

Clean property, great location for Balboa Park/Zoo, super convenient parking, easy check in, safe and quiet neighborhood with lots of restaurant options. Some furniture swapped out from the listing photos.. hosts are free to do that and I think there is even a disclaimer about it so that isn’t a complaint, just awareness. Host was very attentive! Overall great stay!

Hillcrest Stay

Loved the supply of coffee and snacks. Kitchen has good quality cookware, need one or two serving bowls or a mixing bowl. Bed’s comfortable. We enjoyed the upstairs patio for morning coffee and watching squirrels and birds. Overall great place.

Highly Recommend

Great location near Balboa park with easy access from the highway to surrounding attractions! Communication was great and check in/out were really smooth. Listing was as described with some normal wear not captured in the pictures but nothing to prevent us from renting again. Having a designated parking spot was great especially with traveling with smaller kids!
