Walk to Bars, Restaurants 1 BD Hillcrest, Parking
This place is the perfect spot for a couples trip to SD! It’s very cozy and clean! The outdoor patio was a bonus for sure! The host was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions I had which is always so important. Would definitely come back and recommend!

*New* Renovated Historic Home in Little Italy
This cute house was so great! Lots of room, the fluffiest towels I have ever experienced and the BEST location ever. Little Italy is so cute and fun! Coffee shops, restaurants and even the little market is just a block or two away. We really hope to be back! Thank you!

Dreamy Spanish Style North Park Home w/ Hot Tub
Loved this spot. Great for 2 couples. Amazing outdoor space. Kitchen is FULLY stocked! Parking. Comfortable, very clean, and homey. We stayed for three nights and had everything we could need. Would 100% stay again. Beach supplies were greatly appreciated. Hot tub was a treat. Outdoor seating area was extremely comfortable. Laundry was high quality and super helpful. Didn’t have the opportunity to explore the neighbourhood much, but easy access point to the city as a whole. Great communication from the host, and very much appreciated flexibility and accommodation. Thank you Mari! Hope to be back one day.

The Pink Casita of Barrio Logan
This was my first time booking on Airbnb & the place did not disappoint. I and my girlfriend stayed the weekend at Jeff's place and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Check in and out was easy. The place is as described in the photos and even better once in person!! nicely decorated and very cozy. Jeff was great with communication during our stay and provided clear instructions and necessary details & photos. Overall pleasant experience and location for perfect for our stay. Would highly recommend !
Walk to Petco Park, Downtown, Gaslamp w/ garage!
Incredible home, great location, and Hayley was very responsive!! The main floor had everything you could need! Kitchen is well-equipped! Living room had a comfy sofa, huge TV, Murphy bed, and cool views! However, we didn’t ever use the balcony as there was a sign stating you would be charged if you so much as stepped out there after 10 pm so we didn’t feel comfortable going out at all. The third floor bedroom was so cool - especially the garage door! Limited privacy though as garage and bedroom doors are see-thru. The ground floor has home’s main and garage entrances. Both enter directly into the other “bedroom” - which is an open space with a bed, but not private bedroom. It was ok for us, but may not be for everyone. Be sure to read all signs (even ones hidden behind trees!) if you park on the street. There is absolutely no parking from 7 - 8:30 am in front of the home. You will be towed!!! Overall, would recommend! Thanks Hayley for being a great host!!

The Golden Haven - A Boutique Bungalow
We really enjoyed staying here! The area is close to everything we wanted to go see. The space was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable! I would recommend this space to anyone needing a cozy spot to stay in San Diego.

*Modern Studio Close to Everything*
Liliana is a great host - very responsive with clear communication. The place itself is nice and homely, and had everything you'd need for a stay. I stayed in town for a convention and it's a fairly easy 30min walk to the convention centre. There's a few grocery stores all within walking distances too and it's not far from Gaslamp or downtown.

The host and unit were awesome! Perfectly located in the Gaslamp District just one block away from Fifth street which was full of activities on the weekend. Easy walk to the waterfront, loved sitting on the balcony people watching, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The place was very spacious, well decorated, and had all the kitchen amenities. We cooked in 2 nights. CVS within 2 min walk and Ralph’s 7 min walk. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
