The pictures don’t do it justice. The place is larger than it appears. Everything was clean, well stocked with plates, pans, cups, and utensils. The hot tub was well maintained and the room was comfortable. The grill was immaculate and ready to cook. The host was very kind and quick to respond. The area was quiet but also close to where we wanted to be and a grocery store 2 minutes away. We really enjoyed our time here.

The property was clean and inviting! It was a little hard to find since the gate was already open and we couldn’t see the house number, but after locating it the check-in process was smooth! Ricardo was quick to respond to any questions we had.

My wife and I loved this place. the patio is a private oasis, the shower is nice and the bed is very comfortable. It’s also nice to have a driveway to park and it’s on a dead end road so it’s very quiet. I highly recommend it!

What a fantastic place for just the two of us in the heart of Hillcrest! The wet room in the bath was especially nice. The outdoor kitchen took care of all of our grilling and entertaining needs. And the hot tub was great for ending busy days with a relaxing soak. Walking distance to Balboa Park and too all the clubs and restaurants that Hillcrest has to offer. Excellent communications with the host. Overall, highly recommended!

Hot tub was enjoyable. Would be nice to have a TV under the patio kitchen spot to watch something if possible. Also, wouldn’t mind a way to turn all lights off including the small lights once larger ones go off at 10pm or perhaps add a blackout curtain option for the French door leading to the back. Overall, it was great
