Keen on discovering more? Below are some appreciative comments from our past guests in different platforms: "... My stay at this urban single-family STRO in San Diego was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the vibrant, mid-century modern vibe that permeated every corner of the space. The location was ideal, situated in a vibrant neighborhood with trendy shops, cafes, and restaurants just a short stroll away. I appreciated the convenience of having everything I needed within walking distance, yet still feeling tucked away in my own private haven. Overall, my experience at this San Diego urban single-family STRO was exceptional. The thoughtful design, impeccable amenities, and prime location made it the perfect home base for my visit to the city. I can't wait to return and experience its charm all over again." "... Wow! What a house! We have stayed in many places in San Diego and I think this was my favorite spot. The house was spacious and the yard space was wonderful. We have family in the area so having parking for them to come over and visit was super important. We easily fit 3 cars on the driveway. Lots to do within walking distance too. Thanks for the fabulous communication as well. Can’t wait for our next stay." "... Staying at Mursalin-Sonia's place was an absolute delight for our multigenerational family trip to San Diego! From our 5-year-old to our seniors, everyone felt right at home. The location was ideal, with easy access to all the attractions. The space itself was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Mursalin-Sonia was wonderful host, responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend for families of all ages!" "... Such a lovely place. We felt right at home and it was conveniently located to get to places quickly. This is the second time we are staying and we look forward to staying there again the next time we are in San Diego. What an amazing stay! Perfect for our girls weekend trip. Location was perfect and close to anything you could want! The house was very clean and found all we needed. So we booked different home and the home was not what we expected when we arrived and we were looking for a different one around 9pm since we didn't wanted to stay the night there and when we saw this one we tried to reserve and Mursalin- Sonia responded right away and accommodated us that late. He was very responsive whenever we asked him question. .." ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 3 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Table tennis - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Ice skating nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Recycling - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Unit size: 1,500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27131400/27131386/02f426ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### San Diego Swimming Pool on Stunning Canyon in Hillcrest Mission Hills -Walkable!
