This is the prime location in Old Town San Diego with nearby access to the world famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World, Coronado, and slightly more distant access to Legoland and Wild Animal Park.

San Diego's Old Town was the first European settlement on the West Coast and is known as the birthplace of California. The Historic Park encompasses 37 historic buildings. Three original adobe houses have been restored. The Casa de Machado y Silvas (aka "House of the Flag") is where the Mexican flag was hidden from American troops during the Mexican-American War.

Mission Hills is an affluent neighborhood overlooking Old Town, Downtown San Diego and San Diego Bay. The area was developed in the early 20th century with homes designed by San Diego's premier architects including William Hebbard and William Templeton Johnson. Most of the homes today are restored and carefully preserved. The famous horticulturalist Kate Sessions, founder of the renowned Mission Hills Nursery, influenced the development of Mission Hills.

Because we don't have off-street parking, we usually suggest to our guests that they don't rent a car and try using Uber/Lyft/Public transportation instead. Our home is just 10 minutes away from San Diego Airport. $9-$12 ride with Uber.
Every other sightseeing or hot spot in San Diego is a short drive from the property, can't beat the convenience of this location. 10 minute car ride to downtown, beaches, Little Italy, Hillcrest, Sea World, Balboa Park or the Zoo. 10 minute walk to Historic Old Town where transit center offers the trolley, taxis, trains or buses.

This is Old Town. It's very residential and also very touristic. Most people love it.
If you are close-minded or looking for a "traditional American suburb" style, this will not be a good fit.

There might be some noise from the highway and the planes, but really and HONESTLY very light noise. You can hear it when standing outside in the garden. They become totally unnoticeable when inside the home.

Please note that we have certain minimum nights for certain times of the year - for holidays and peak season rental seasons we may require 5 nights minimum.

We are available to you for standard check-in times should you require any assistance from 4pm - 6pm … for after these hours we may be available for emergency only and only then via Airbnb message app.  We apologize if this causes any issues, but please consider this ahead of booking.

2/10 Terrible

Rich D.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Noxious Bad smell and ridiculous excuses
We entered the property to an overwhelming smell of mildew/mold. Property management made excuses such as it has a lived in smell and just needs to be aired out. It was so bad, we bought airspray just to make it through one night. Apparently some team came to clean the garage disposal on day 2 which seemed to be the root source of the smell. Naturally this team said it smelled normal. Wrong. This was beyond anything acceptable even for an old property or this team has no sense of smell. We checked into a hotel around the corner for the final two nights for the same price. If management actually listened and addressed the problem instead of some flippant response, it might have been a nice place.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Perfect location, terrible apartment
Tub would not drain, bathroom sink drain closure broken. Dirty, odor. Might be acceptable for a one night stay but far from comfortable for any longer.
