Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hillcrest, San Diego

The house was extremely clean and easy to find. The home is central to restaurants, coffee shops, and bars, that are all in walking distance. Alex had clear instructions that made the check-in process super simple. The house is peaceful and quiet with space to relax inside and outdoors. Will definitely stay here again when n San Diego.

Cozy spot in a great location. A lot of places to eat, grocery stores and within walking distance or a cheap ride to / from the park. Camila was very nice and helpful! Definitely check it out.

Kevin's cottage was the perfect place to stay in San Diego. I loved the back patio surrounded by flowers and fruit trees. The home was a fitting Shabby Chic style, immaculate and comfortable for one or two guests. Kevin communicates very quickly and is right there in the neighborhood to help if needed. The surrounding neighborhood is comfortable to walk around. I will certainly seek another visit at Kevin's cottage when I return to San Diego.

Great location near the airport and Little Italy. Also very close to multiple dining places. We dined at Starlite on our last night there and it was fantastic and close to the house. Parking was amazing compared to others since there are lots of meters, and limited parking elsewhere. Highly recommend.

This home is perfect! Great walkability to amazing restaurants and bars. Great central location. Hosts are amazing. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful, well appointed home. Comfortable bed. Beautiful bathroom. Walking distance to many things. The neighborhood is a tiny bit rough, but I felt safe. The only challenge is parking, so be prepared to park and walk a couple of blocks each time (you can double park to unload suitcases pretty easily). Make sure to walk up a couple of blocks to visit the Lafayette Hotel. Great bar and great food at the Beginners Diner. Aaron was great, and we felt right at home.

A fantastic home with great amenities both in the rental and around the neighborhood. Everything was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The indoor space is large, outdoor space comfortable for lounging by the gas firepit, showers have great waterfall shower heads, and beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and it’s designed for entertaining. The best part is its proximity to the heart of Hillcrest. You’re walking distance to University Ave. and the cute shops, clubs and restaurants of the area. We’re definitely hoping to stay here again.

The place was in an ideal central location for seeing San Diego’s best spots. Liz was also an incredibly responsive and accommodating host! We felt very taken care of during our stay.

Very clean and comfortable space. Bed was comfy and we really liked the space!

Anna was a phenomenal host for my short stay in San Diego. She was very responsive and kind! Her home was nice and quaint with all the items of everything you may have at home (iron, kitchenware, toiletries etc.) I would definitely stay again when I come back to visit San Diego!

This was our second time staying at Christopher's Airbnb! We love the University Heights neighborhood and this rental is in the perfect location - walkable to lots of coffee shops and restaurants! Although we did not have any issues, the renters were very responsive in communication. Will continue using this rental for future San Diego visits!

JB and Ana were great hosts and were wonderfully accommodating. This was a great private room in a very convenient location. I was definitely satisfied with my experience, especially the ease of check-in/out.

Well appointed flat. Good instructions on how to find the place and the hosts answered promptly to a couple of queries . Good hot shower which was welcome after long days out and about. Good location and easy access to laundry was great for the 10 day stay we had. Only one recommendation is for maybe a new bed due to roll together ! But hey this is a great flat and good value .

Came into town for the weekend with my grown sons and found Rosina’s place to be a great home base!! Perfect for 3 people. And walkable to downtown. There are some restaurants and stores close by too. The casita is clean and cute and has a little patio! All the amenities necessary. Rosina was very communicative from the moment we booked. Would stay here again!!!

Loved staying at Lauren’s place. Upon entry, the space leading up to the apts front door was tighter than we expected - it was one unit of a few in a tight backyard. That said, the inside looked exactly as photos, spotlessly clean, the location was great, and it felt private. Lauren was very responsive and friendly, sharing local restaurant recommendation if desired. I would stay here again as it gave us a quiet homebase to relax with easy access to great food as we explored San Diego.

This is hands down one of the best stays my husband and I have ever had! Not only was the place super easy to find, but it was well stocked, clean and comfortable. The host, Connie, was extremely kind and flexible with us when our check in was late. She made us feel right at home and the value of the stay far exceeds the price. I highly recommend their granny flat in La Mesa and hope I can come back again very soon!!

The apartment was exactly as described. It suited us very well as we wanted a short vacation after our work in San Diego. The location was central and it was a walkable distance to the Gaslamp Quarters. All the amenities listed were spot on. We especially loved the free detergent provided. It was such a thoughtful gesture and we left San Diego with hardly any dirty clothes! In all, we had a wonderful experience throughout our stay there. We highly recommend this premise to all SD visitors looking for a good stay.

Eric was extremely responsive. Everything was very comfortable—the beds and the couches. Super quiet and relaxing. While close to the airport, you don’t hear the planes. Lovely place. We didn’t have a car but walked to little Italy-just a note that the neighborhood is very hilly.

I booked the flat as an alternative to a hotel for a business trip to San Diego. My expectations were surpassed. Felt right at home so the business stay didn't feel like a trip away from home at all.

Place felt like home, peacful, quiet, was able to have everything I needed in one place. Thelma was very kind and made our stay very welcoming. Thank you so much for helping us during our vacation. Highly recommened place to stay.

Melissa was an exceptional host! Throughout our entire trip, we only had one question for her, and she responded within just two minutes—so impressive! The place was spotlessly clean, the neighborhood was peaceful, and everything looked exactly like the pictures. This Airbnb made our stay in San Diego incredibly comfortable and hassle-free.

This place was absolutely perfect for what my wife and I needed. Perfect distance from downtown San Diego to get a city feel, but also far enough to not be super loud and busy all the time. Tony was a great host and was very responsive when we needed anything.

Great location, very clean ,had everything I needed to cook my meals and lots of extras I appreciated as well.i felt very safe and secure location great parking i had a huge car and no problem parking in garage its a large 4 door Jaguar as big as an suv no proble for me . enjoyed my stay very much will be back for sure .

Very good attention from the host. She solved the inconveniences quickly and was very attentive in her attention. Recommended!!
