About this property

Beautiful Bungalow Near Balboa Park, Zoo, Downtown/Convention Center, & Ocean

The home is in the heart of Golden Hill, A mile from the Gas Lamp District, and close to other desirable places in San Diego like Little Italy, Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. We are in a metro neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and public transportation. A number of beaches are a 10 minute drive away.

The kitchen is fully stocked and comes complete with an 8 burner Bluestar gas stove.

The house has 3 bedrooms: Bedroom 1: 1 king, Bedroom 2: 1 queen, and Bedroom 3: 2 bunkbeds with trundles (which sleeps 6 people). The living room also has a pull out couch. Bedrooms are cozy with all linens provided.

Private backyard with sectional sofa, fire pit, BBQ grill.

We think it's important to mention that staying in our home will be a unique experience. It's a home built in 1905, it has quirks, cracks, and creaks but we do our best to keep it maintained and well cared for. We expect our guests to be respectful of our home, patient, and understanding that since this is not a hotel, there is not a round the clock staff, so we expect a level of self-sufficiency and flexibility from our guests. That being said, it's an awesome home, in a great location and neighborhood, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Guests are permitted to use the front yard and back yard where the al fresco dining, hammock, and fire pit are. House guests also have access to a driveway that has up to 3 tandem parking spaces.

Check-in/out is completely remote. Check-in is at 4 PM. Check out is at 11 AM. We are available by phone, text, or email but will not be on-site.

Fantastic Fringe of the City San Diego stay
This place was understated as to how accommodating it is to a Family gathering. We had a pretty big group for the Thanksgiving holiday and it fit us perfectly. The setup of the house is perfect for social gathering and meals and the location was excellent being just on the fringes of downtown. Everyone that came in said how awesome the place was !! We utilized the fantastic kitchen with a commercial double oven for our side dishes and cooked 2 turkeys as well to feed the masses. The open space family room thru dining room thru the BIG open doors (these are a game changer btw) to the back yard area really made it special to enjoy the week with friends and Family. The house hosts are extremely helpful/friendly and i can't say enough how much we appreciate them letting us borrow their beautiful home for our Family to enjoy !!! (we want to buy this place off you !!!)

Great place to stay but note that its only a 3 bedroom
Really loved staying here. The living room with the wide doors that lead to the backyard was awesome. Stayed for a weekend trip with some friends and we were all very comfortable here. We did have the expectations that it was a 4 bedroom because when filtering our search we filtered by 4 bedrooms and this is listed as one. however, per the description it says its a 3 bedroom which it really is. other than that our stay here was great. check in was easy. we also had two big dogs with us who loved the house.

Great time in San Diego
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in San Diego for a graduation! All of our guests loved the house and back yard, both of which were extremely clean and very well done. Very cute! We would definitely recommend this property!

We LOVE to travel and collect treasures along the way.

Why they chose this property

B St Bungalow is a historic and charming bungalow in an urban area of San Diego, called Golden Hill. The home is within walking distance to a few restaurants, stores, and parks but we are also very accessible to all the other wonderful things about San Diego, like the zoo, Balboa Park, and many fabulous beaches. Of course when you are not out sightseeing we have tried to equip the house with all the creature comforts of home while you're resting at the house.
