The best part of this place reveals itself the moment you step into the backyard. While San Diego's famous for its beaches, you'll find yourself spending evenings right here—soaking in the heated stock tank pool as the sun goes down, fire pit going, cold drink in hand. When you're not at the Zoo or Balboa Park (both 10 minutes away), the retro arcade and ping-pong table keep everyone entertained, and the chef's kitchen makes it easy to cook instead of spending a fortune dining out every night. This is the kind of place where you actually relax on vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Mursalin Habib
Now:
We appreciate architecture, art, food and people. We think of vacations as oxygen and we think food is religion. We have been to 40+ countries and list is growing every year. Our mission to go to all the national parks in USA is on hold after the arrival of our little one, we shifted our attention to urban traveling and our little one has been to 20+ countries spanning three continents already.
Before:
We moved about 13000 km from South Asia to East coast, then two years toiling in grad school, we moved another 4200km to San Diego to work in the high tech and called it our home. We lived most of our adult life in San Diego and moved to North park before it was cool. When our little one started taking over our cozy century old craftsman bungalow, we moved to Kensington in a 90 year old Spanish revival.

Why they chose this property
Spirited Hillcrest has got a lot going on. A highly walkable neighborhood, it’s lauded for its welcoming and friendly vibe. Just north of San Diego’s buzzy Downtown, this is the centre of the county, known for bustling bars. University Avenue is fringed with restaurants serving global cuisine, and the weekly Hillcrest Farmers Market sells flowers and fresh produce. The mix of cafes, breweries and vintage clothes shops on Fifth Avenue makes Hillcrest a popular weekend destination for visitors and locals alike. And there's no better spot for breakfast and brunch – streets here are lined with outdoor seating for lazy afternoons enjoying food and drink in the San Diego sunshine.
What makes this property unique
This home is the ideal place to stay for a group of friends or family looking to explore San Diego. It's just ten minutes by car from downtown and the world-famous San Diego Zoo and about a fifteen-minute drive from the beach. Style-wise, the design is influenced by mid-century modern – think Bauhaus and Rothko prints on the walls, a vinyl record player in the lounge, and a retro gaming console in the third bedroom. Outside, a private patio creates the perfect setting to relax and unwind after your adventures. The cherry on top is the heated stock tank pool, great for a sunset dip.
