About this property

Furnished Hillcrest 1BR · 12-min Walk to Scripps · Work-Ready · Pool + EV

A calm, fully-furnished home base in the heart of San Diego's Hillcrest. Whether you're here for a healthcare contract, a relocation, a remote-work stretch, or the in-between months of a move, this bright 1-bedroom is built for a longer stay — not a quick trip.

Where you are: a 12-minute walk (0.5 mi) to Scripps Mercy, a 7-minute drive to UC San Diego Health Hillcrest, and a 97 Walk Score to Trader Joe's, cafés, dining, and Balboa Park.

Inside: an open living space with a memory-foam queen sofa bed (sleeps 4), a restful bedroom with a Tempur-Pedic queen, a full kitchen, in-unit washer & dryer, and a dedicated desk + ergonomic chair with fast Wi-Fi. Step onto the private balcony, or enjoy the resort-style pool, hot tub, and 24-hour fitness center. Elevator building, secured garage.

One transparent monthly rate includes everything — utilities, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a designated garage spot (plus a guest parking pass) with an EV charger. Electricity is included up to a $150/month allowance. We greet you in person at check-in for a smooth arrival and orientation; easy self check-out. Flexible start dates.

"Everything we needed — thoughtfully furnished. Couldn't have asked for a better experience." — recent guest

Best for a professional or couple on a monthly stay (31-night minimum); not set up for groups or events. Hosted by a nurse and a remote-work pro who answer quickly. Prefer to save on fees? Ask about booking direct.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Her stay at the condo was absolutely wonderful. Every aspect of our stay was perfect. The interior exceeded expectations. The check-in process was extremely helpful. The host was always available if we had a question. The building was secure and a big plus was having garage parking. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Hillcrest because of how walkable, welcoming, and vibrant it is. The neighborhood has a great mix of local charm and everyday convenience. You can stroll to cafes, grocery stores, restaurants, and weekend farmers markets without needing a car. Balboa Park is just a few minutes away, and it’s close to major hospitals and public transit. It feels like a true San Diego neighborhood where you can enjoy the best of the city while still feeling at home.

What makes this property unique

This space is thoughtfully designed for guests who need more than just a place to sleep. Whether you're working remotely, relocating, or staying long-term for a work assignment, you'll find comfort, functionality, and a few extra touches that make settling in easy. The condo features a Tempur-Pedic mattress, blackout curtains, a dedicated desk with natural light, in-unit laundry, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything from an air fryer to a Nespresso machine. You’ll also have access to the pool, hot tub, gym, firepit lounge, and an EV charger in a secure garage. It’s a home that’s move-in ready, comfortable, and intentionally set up for extended stays.
