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.

Lovely apartment in a beautiful neighborhood

We came to San Diego to visit friends and family in the neighborhood after moving away nine years ago. The apartment was a perfect base for all our activities. The bed was comfy. The kitchen is well equipped. We had many nice walks in the neighborhood.

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.

Wonderful apartment

We loved staying at this apartment. Very clean, and Lawrence was very helpful and responsive. The apartment was exactly as others have described it and as it looks in the pictures. The neighborhood is super quiet and residential, and there’s a fantastic little coffee shop just a short walk away. We had breakfast there each morning. I would say that if you stay here, know that the bathroom and bedroom don’t have doors. There is a pulldown blind in the bathroom doorway though! We knew that in advance so it was not a concern for me and my husband.

Spring Break in San Diego

This apartment is located above a garage in central Mission Hills, convenient to shops, bars and restaurants, across the street from a private elementary school. It is spotlessly clean and has plenty of sunlight and fresh air. The access stairs are a bit steep with narrow treads (typical of the time the property was built 100 years ago), but there is a handrail to aid support - be careful carrying your suitcase up and down the stairs. Larry the property manager is friendly and very responsive. The apartment is well equipped for a single person or couple for a short stay. The kitchen area is small and only has a minibar refrigerator, so limited capacity for groceries. The fridge tends to be noisy - that was the only negative.

Sweet Suite in Mission Hills

Lovely small apartment above garage on quiet street near canyon in Mission Hills. Wall of high windows facing north on street side. Stylish coastal modern decor, Kate Spade dinnerware, pretty towels matching bath tiles, comfy bed. Amazing backyard garden view from bathroom window, but no outdoor seating for apartment. Nice coffee table books on gardening and architecture. Owner very prompt helping with minor issue with TV. Pretty residential neighborhood with cafes, restaurants, a garden center, grocery stores and Mission Hills Library. Easy walk downhill past mansions to Old Town. Uber rides just minutes away.

We appreciate and offer good, old fashioned customer service - and aim to delight our guests. Lost your way in unfamiliar surroundings? Call us.

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!
