A Definite MUST Stay
Gina and Efrain were superb hosts, and welcomed us into their lovely home for a month. The house was perfect for our family. The location is ideal, the neighborhood safe, and the house was comfortable and inviting. We will definite return when we are back in San Diego. I would highly recommend as they are the best hosts.

A Total Winner
My wife and I stayed in Hillcrest Canyon Treehouse (late September 2024) and every aspect of it was great. A lovely property. Clean, comfortable, well furnished and equipped, and in an amazingly quiet neighborhood, despite being within a block of the northern border of beautiful Balboa Park. The kitchen was spacious and had everything you could want. The outdoor deck (including the retractable awning) was a wonderful place to have your meals. It was super quiet and dark in the bedroom, and the AC made for a nice cool sleeping environment. No doubt about it--whenever in the future we are in San Diego, this is where we will be staying,

A Piece of Paradise
The ultimate home away from home with everything we could have needed. Clean, clean , clean with the perfect location for wonderful places to explore and eat. A lovely backyard veranda full of squirrels, birds and foliage. Comfy beds and a very well appointed kitchen. We really recommend this place.

Wonderfully Walkable
What a treat to stay in a place with all the amenities of home and not have to rent a car! The house was clean, peaceful, and within walking distance of so many local treasures. Perfect for small families. We had an incredible trip and look forward to our next visit to San Diego!

Comfortable, Very convenient location
We loved being able to walk to the Zoo and Balboa Park. The home was well laid out and perfect for our family. The outdoor deck and garden below made a very nice area to relax, and we enjoyed the spacious Kitchen, Dining area and Living room. The bathtub plug was missing, and it was a bit annoying to have to strip the beds before leaving, but overall we had a great stay and would recommend this place to others.

Great location, clean, quiet, all amenities
Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and comfortable, providing all listed amenities and many others. It was a quiet street despite being just a few blocks from balboa park. The host provided a booklet on the property as well as lists of things to do and places to eat. It’s very close to museums and the zoo, but also not a long drive to sea world and the beach. We felt at home coming back each night after our daily excursions to a comfy couch and large TVs for family movie nights. We’d definitely stay here again!
