By booking this property, you are acknowledging that you have read and will abide by the Good Neighbor Policy outlined below. GENERAL Standard check-in time is 4 PM and check-out is 10 AM. We thank you for not smoking and not bringing any pets onto the premises. Please ensure that the total number of guests you specify in your booking is accurate, including all infants and babies of all ages, and let us know if that changes. We will only accommodate those guests specified and no more above and beyond that number, especially due to municipal codes regarding occupancy. NOISE & GATHERINGS Due to the residential nature of our neighborhood and out of respect for our neighbors, we have a strict policy against social gatherings or any other loud/disruptive activities, especially after 9pm. This also means no visitors (anyone not already accounted for in the booking and already staying here) at any time. Our property manager lives nearby and he’s had to ask guests to leave in the past for throwing parties. OCCUPANCY Please note the maximum occupancy and number of bedrooms specified in this listing. The maximum number of guests, including all infants and children, shall not exceed this number at all times. SAFETY There may be cameras present on the exterior of the property. Please see the listing for further details. Cameras must remain clear and not be tampered with or blocked in any way. STAYS LONGER THAN 30 NIGHTS The booking site does not have a mechanism for recurring charges, but as a benefit to both us and the guest, we do require a recurring cleaning of the unit to be scheduled once every 2-3 weeks at an additional cost equal to the original cleaning fee each time, and this would include cleaning of towels and linens. This is charged separately for each individual cleaning. FURNISHINGS Moving existing furniture out of the apartment or new furniture into it without consent of the host is strictly prohibited. Moving large furniture within the apartment from one room to another is also prohibited as our housekeeper may not be able to physically move it back once you depart.

TRASH & RECYCLING Use blue bins for recycling, green bins for food waste, and black bins for everything else.

While we’re happy to host those groups, please note that we do not provide cribs, pack and plays, or infant bedding, so plan accordingly if needed. However, if our space is listed as not suitable for children under 12, that means we are unable to accommodate young guests for safety or comfort reasons.

We had a car so it was easy for us to get around - I can't speak to public transportation in the area, but there are a few places to eat within walking distance. Came out for a golf trip with buddies, the place was clean and comfortable, and a nice place to unwind after hitting the links before heading out for a bite. Two nice size bedrooms, a good living area and separate kitchen. Would stay there again. ##### Jim S. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerri S. 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Host 2 bedrooms in great neighborhood My husband and I came to celebrate our granddaughter's first birthday in San Diego and this place was perfect. It had two bedrooms and bathrooms so our grandkids could come and take naps, etc. The neighborhood is very walkable, and we found a great ice cream shop called Stella and Beans. Jeff and his whole group were very responsive example when we arrived someone was parked in the parking spot we had (yes it has its own parking too) and Julie was able to assist us with resolving the matter in minutes.Thanks so much for an amazing trip we will be back. ##### Kerri S.

The location was close to zoo, Balboa Park, and airport. It was nice to have the on site umbrellas as it did a lot of raining on our visit. The house is quaint and redone and updated ,as it is an older home. Loved the big closets. Jeff was easy to contact and responded quickly to our need. Thank you! ##### Constance Y. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madelon P., Mesa 30 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for us... I was a little worried about the parking situation (usually I only rent with a guaranteed parking space), but we had no problems. The kitchen has been remodeled, and it is a great space to work in, lots of prep area. My only suggestion would be to replace the built in microwave with a counter top model (the built in microwave was placed unusually high above the stove). Gas stove was wonderful! The beds were comfortable and we weten't bothered by outside noises or noises from the other attached rental units. Felt safe and secure, and would definitely rent again. NOTE: There are several steps leading up to the front door, with no rail...if you have a problem navigating steps you may want to take this into consideration. ##### Madelon P.

So close to shops, restaurants and Balboa park. The location is perfect. Comfortable space and beds. Jeff was quick to reach out and make sure our needs were met. The only thing I suggest is to bring a fan or sound machine if you're a light sleeper. We did hear the guests in the 2 other units, but it wasn't an issue for us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Nataly P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Alice G. 25 Jan 2017 #### very nice place We stayed in this place during the Christmas and New Year holidays. It was a wonderful period. The place is well decorated, in a nice neighborhood. There are numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance. If you want make dinner at home, there is an interesting farmer market nearby. As we appreciate to have dinner at home, the only not so good was the tableware. The kitchen could have some more tableware (plates, cutlery, mugs, in porcelain) and this would make a much nicer dinner table and ease the use of microwave. But no doubt, we would stay again in such nice place. Jeff was quick to respond our emails and was very kind answering our phone calls. ##### Maria Alice G.

We found plenty of food and drink options close by as well as a really cool coffee house, Lestat. I went there daily to get my mother in law and I coffee and pastries. The beds here were very comfortable and we enjoyed the garden area out back too. The host was very accommodating and quick to get back to us when we contacted him.

We stayed for a long weekend and wished we could have stayed longer! After spending all day and evening running around to all the great places in San Diego, we had a lovely retreat to come back to. First, it's in a fantastic location - close to downtown Hillcrest and certainly walkable. The apartment was comfortable and Jeff left us a nice bottle of wine and snacks to greet us when we arrived. The bed and bedding were super comfortable and the place was immaculate. Plus the kitchen is thoughtfully organized and equipped for making coffee in the morning and sipping it in the courtyard behind the house. Can't say enough about how awesome this home is and what an incredibly amazing host that Jeff is. We'll be back!!! ##### Carole P.

On Friday, we were looking for a one night getaway for Saturday. It was so great that we were able to book the place last minute and with ease! Jeff was quick to respond to every email and made sure our short time there was refreshing! If we head out to San Diego again, there is no question that we will be staying here again! ##### Wendy K.

There are numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance, if you're a foodie this is perfect. We were surprised by a farmers market and several hidden gems with delicious local food. The owner has designed this beautifully while given it a very cozy homey feel. We will definitely be coming back and hope this is available when we do. ##### Jennifer S.

My spouse and mother (3 adults, total) stayed in this spacious apartment for two nights. The good: plenty of space with two bedrooms, a living/dining room and kitchen. Bathroom however was located strangely; attached to the master bedroom, you must walk through the kitchen to get to it unless you're in the master bedroom. Also good, the furnishings were quite nice and looked new and location was quite convenient to everything, particularly to SDSU which is why we went to San Diego. Parking also easy on the street. The not so good: note that it's NOT located in Hillcrest as the headline advertises, but is about 1/2 mile from it in University Heights. Also, most importantly, make sure you get your deposit back after your stay as I had to contact the owner for that to happen. Overall, a reasonably priced apartment and good location for our needs. ##### Betty Y. ---
