Loved this villa. It had everything we needed and the location was absolutely perfect. The only thing we'd say probably needed updating (for us) would be the mattress. Will definitely be revisiting on our next trip!

Conveniently Located and Nice

The place is nice and has many of the necessary items if you plan to spend time with simple meals and relaxing on the front porch. With a short walk you can access multiple bus lines that traverse and connect much of the city. We rarely drove or spent money on ride share.

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.
