The Zen Villa was the perfect home base during our visit to San Diego! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. The property itself is secluded, calming and relaxing. Our host Ricardo was always reaching out to make sure we were happy. We hope to stay here again the next time we come to visit my son and his girlfriend.

Great little house
So well located. Great place to walk to great restaurants and Balboa Park. Our host, Ricardo, was so helpful and very responsive. The house itself was well appointed and had everything we needed. We did bring our electric car and Ricardo supplied a level one charger. It certainly is not fast, but was helpful. There is a great Electrify America station not far away for Ultrafast charging. The only things I would bring up for consideration are: 1) They do charge an "extra person" charge which was not something we had ever run into in any other VRBO home. Ricardo was great working with us on this. 2) The bathroom is "cozy" and a bit uncomfortable for 2 people. Just need to plan around that. 3) The toiletries supplied are not great quality. We had brought our own shampoo and conditioner, but the soap supplied was not good, so we went out and bought our own. If this is something you are particular about, just be aware. Overall, this was a very comfortable house for our 4 days stay.

Great spot in Hillcrest
This is a nice property within walking distance of restaurants, stores, and walking/hiking trails, but still a short car ride away from everything in San Diego. The property was exactly as described and in the pictures. It's on a quiet street and very private. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Location!
The location was perfect for walking to grab a bite or drink in the evenings, super close to Balboa Park where my husband enjoyed running every morning. Enjoyed the patio in the morning to have some coffee and read. The house was close to the highway and I-5 and was an easy drive to pretty much everywhere. Very much enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

The property was beautiful and calming. Just what we needed. Never slept so well and felt so stress free. The community in general was quite welcoming. Great food and shops all within walking distance. It was very comfortable and felt like my home the week I was there. Everything was a breeze and the host was polite and very accommodating.

The property is just as pictured, perfectly clean, and exactly what we needed for our trip to visit family. The home is in a central location making it easy to access all areas of San Diego. It was also a perfect place to just relax in the evening. Additionally, Ricardo was an amazing host - very responsive, and made everything extremely easy.

Zen for Sure
Place was perfect for my spouse and I. Our doggo had a great time as well. Location was wonderful, quiet and walkable to two grocery stores and multiple restaurants. Able to get to most beaches, Little Italy, Bay and Balboa Park in 20 minutes or less, outside of rush hours. Bath towels are superb (looking into them for ourselves 😁) and the kitchen had majority of everything needed to make meals. Private gated parking was a plus. The private courtyard was a bonus too, beautiful lush and green! Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Cottage! Look no further!
Terrific cottage, well appointed and very clean!! My husband and I with our collie had a great, relaxing stay for a week. Perfect size, to spread out, nice kitchen, easy to cook meals, spa shower was great, super comfy, huge bed, wifi with 2 TVs, laundry in the back very convenient. Fenced in yard, well protected from the street was great for our collie and off street parking with easy electrical outlet, perfect for charging our EV and critical as on street parking is always full. Owner was a delight to work with. Short walking to groceries, coffee, cafes, Farmers Market and Balboa Park. Cute, quiet neighborhood with friendly folks. Minutes in car to rest of San Diego. More than excellent!

This property was absolutely perfect. Comfy bed, private parking, wonderful outdoor space that is totally private with a relaxing hot tub. Had a little trouble with the bedroom tv, Ricardo had IT there installing new tvs immediately. I highly recommend staying here. The location is perfect, close to everything. I look forward to staying here again. Pet friendly, my grand dog stayed with me, and he highly recommends the outdoor space.

Cozy little place
This property is super well located and. clean. The only downside was that it was very small( with the laundry located outside) there wasn’t much room to put away our luggage without bumping into es j other. But it was clean and we had a really nice stay. The best thing about the place was the outdoor space which we enjoyed very much !

Amazing
Everything about the property was amazing. It’s in an amazing neighborhood in SD, bunch of cafes and restaurants at walking distance, we tried a different spot everyday. The house is small but just perfect for 2 people with everything you’d need to enjoy your stay. The enclosed parking was amazing and we didn’t have to look for alternatives. The mattress is a bit old and hard like the body shape is caved in but we got used to it. Nice front patio to enjoy tea/coffee and the hot tub. Also if you come go to breakfast republic, you’ll love the breakfast there! Ricardo was very responsive and responded to all our questions, we’d definitely come back and stay at this property! Thank you for an amazing vacation!
