Loved the location, especially because we are avid cyclists providing easy access to the harbor, bay, downtown and the coast north.The place was cozy and clean. One of our favorite restaurants in the city (Fort Oak) was a short walk.

Well appointed and maintained space in a cute San Diego neighborhood. The property appeared to be a guest space attached to the main house with a private access. The host was equally responsive and discreet onsite which I really appreciated. Would return in the future if another weekend trip comes up.

First personal visit to San Diego- super cute apt- small, but well cared for and very clean. Lots of great walkable restaurants, bars. Easy parking right out front. Quiet street, very safe. I’d feel very comfortable walking there by myself. The no door bathroom was a little funny, but nothing that wasn’t easily managed as the bathroom sits in the back of the apartment. We’ll be back!

We loved this place! We called it our doll house. It’s cozy for two and we enjoyed it. I do wish there was a little more privacy as the front door and most of the windows are not covered but other than that we had a great stay.

Thanksgiving in San Diego

This apartment is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. It is conveniently located on a quiet tree-lined street, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Plenty of natural light, spotlessly clean, nicely updated and a very comfortable bed. Larry the host is very responsive. Ample parking available on the street. Bathroom is "compact" and access stairs may be a bit steep if elderly.

I chose this location for its proximity to my rental property, the airport, and for its safety (I walked early; returned late). The area is relatively quiet (school nearby). There is ample street parking; school traffic at certain times. This area is rife with nearby restaurants and coffee places. I enjoy cooking; preferred to dine in. The kitchen is small but workable (no oven). * Dimmable lights * a huge plus in my opinion. Larry was readily available and responded quickly. There was an airy space and a lot of natural light. I would definitely stay here again.

Mission Hills Carriage House Apartment

My husband and I stayed five nights at Rodney and Larry's Mission Hills carriage house apartment, visiting friends in the area. The apartment is lovely - exactly like the photos. It is immaculately clean and in a great location in Mission Hills - wonderful neighborhood -,an easy walk to many local restaurants and cafe's. Both Rodney and Larry were professional and responsive. It was a pleasure to stay here.

Beautiful neighborhood!

Beautiful location, clean, bright and airy rooms. Close to Old Town San Diego and within minutes of Cornado Beach. A couple of downsides, only travel with someone you are very comfortable with, there are NO DOORS, including on the bathroom!! ( heads up - could be quite awkward!!)If you are looking to cuddle up and watch a movie this is not the spot. However, if you are looking for a clean, beautiful spot in an equally beautiful & quiet neighborhood to drop your bags and have adventures from, this is a great place! We enjoyed our stay.

Welcome!

My family and I have lived in Southern California for 25+years and we are grateful for the opportunity to share our beautiful coastal and desert city with family, friends and guests who travel from near and far.

Since 2013, we've welcomed over 1,300 guests from 10+ countries, so thank you for helping us build a world where we all belong - one guest at a time.

Whether you enjoy the ease and independence of a Vacation Rental where you simply pick your spot and push a button, or you prefer a Vacation Rental where you can interact with the owner in one-on-one discussions before booking - through post departure, you deserve the very best experience.

We appreciate and offer good, old fashioned customer service - and aim to delight our guests. Lost your way in unfamiliar surroundings? Call us. Unsure about local romantic or family-friendly restaurants? Text use. Forgot your anniversary and need something special right away? Email use, we are here to help.

We look forward to your stay at our cozy guest house in San Diego's charming and historic neighborhood of Mission Hills. Happy Travels!

Why they chose this property

The Carriage House Apartment sits in the residential neighborhood of Mission Hills - between Old Town and Hillcrest. The home is close enough to stay connected to the local scene (walk to parks, restaurants, shopping) but far enough away to enjoy quite relaxation and the ease of on-street parking - often right in front of the home. Mission Hills is located on hills just south of the San Diego River valley and north of downtown San Diego, overlooking Old Town, Downtown San Diego, and San Diego Bay. The area is primarily residential, with boutique shops and restaurants along Washington Blvd. and in other clusters. The oldest parts of the neighborhood consist mainly of houses from the 1908-1930 period, in Craftsman, Prairie School, Spanish Colonial Revival and other styles. Enjoy your visit!
