About this property
NEW!! Hot Tub, Next to Convention C, Little Italy and Balboa! Families Welcome
CALIFORNIA ZEN VILLA
Amazing and perfectly balanced sensation of Zen and Luxury
Located in the heart of San Diego in the Banker’s Hill/Hillcrest community between Balboa Park and San Diego Bay. Within minutes of Little Italy, The Convention Center, Gaslamp, The Zoo, the Airport and all major San Diego attractions and beautiful beaches.
THE HOUSE
Besides being in the best location in a very relaxing and peaceful neighborhood, the stunning property will make you fall in love with it's A\accents ranging from the Victorian architecture building to modern decor making it truly unique.
Your beautiful San Diego Home features two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an amazing chef's kitchen and a beautiful warm living room plus the majestic outdoor Zen garden, a beautiful Oasis with a Tub to relax and unwind after a whole day of exploring.
Sleep will take on a new meaning here. The beds feature Posturepedic mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets and hotel collection pillows. The TV's are high resolution smart TV's with 500-plus full Cox package including of course all the Sports Networks, HBO and many more music and TV channels. You also have access to the app center to stream Netflix, Hulu or your favorite app in the comfort of your San Diego Home.
The Wifi home network is dedicated just for you and features 1,000mbps, the highest inherent speed to date that will help you get work done really easy, do the best streaming, connect many devices at once and much more.
What a better way to end a day than coming to your beautiful San Diego home after an entire day of working or exploring and enjoy the hot tub and the multi speed jet massagers. Doesn't get any better or more relaxing than this. All of it while you enjoy the serenity of the Zen Garden. The Garden and Tub and all areas that you see in the photos, are completely private and just for your exclusive use and enjoyment, no one else have access to them.
Ultra white quartz, warm wood and steel define the stunning kitchen, fully equipped with gas range and oven, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, utensils, pots, pans, silverware, plates, cups, wine glasses and everything you need to cook anything from a simple breakfast to a magical Michelin Star dinner.
Having your own off-street assigned parking spot is going to make your vacation so much more enjoyable. Parking in San Diego can be a a very expensive, especially overnight parking, and that if you are lucky to find any. Is definitely a complicated and undertaking task, as I said having your included parking spot is amazing especially in this privileged location. The spot can accommodates even the biggest SUV.
If you need additional accommodations for your family or friends, there is another couple of units in the building available, please ask me if you need more information. They all are completely independent, with separate entrance and it's own outdoor areas. Again, please ask for the link to full description, rates and photos.
