Saved my stay in San Diego!
Steven was able to rent out his space last minute after another VRBO cancelled on me. Great location and an excellent space from which to launch daily excursions in the downtown/Balboa Park area. The layout was perfect and the place was clean and all appliances working. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
I'm a local San Diego Real Estate Expert. I run a downtown real estate brokerage along with an amazing Real Estate software platform that services the residential market. I live on the estate in another house and I love downtown. I'm originally from Chicago, so that makes me friendly and dependable, and most importantly I know where to get the best PIZZA and all the great restaurants, coffee shops, happy hours, etc. .

Why they chose this property

If you are planning on visiting San Diego and want the best of everything, this is the right property for you. We are close to the beach without having all the filth and drunken noise that accompanies the coastal areas. We are in downtown without being in the areas like little italy, gas lamp and, east village where the homeless like to congregate. We spent a fortune on making sure you experience high end comfort. We purchased brand new luxury mattresses so you will sleep comfortably. We are walking distance to most of what San Diego has to offer without having you contend with unwanted noise or disturbances.

The owner travels extensively and believes in offering only the best, so that you can feel comfortable and and home and experience a truly magical trip.

What makes this property unique

This is the only detached house available in downtown San Diego. We purchased brand new beds that only the high end luxury hotels have. We have all the amenities so you can work, live and enjoy. Location, Location, Location. We are close to everything. Gaslamp.... Check, Balboa Park....Check, Petco Park...Check, Seaport Village....Check, Symphony....Check, Spreckels Theatre....Check.
