About this property

Charming Junipera Studio in Prime Location (A)

Through the lush garden you'll find our sweet little studio located in the heart of all of the North Park & South Park action. Walking distance to unique boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and even Balboa Park! Take a quick 17 minute drive over to the beach or grab a bottle of wine from Rose Wine Bar & head to Sunset Cliffs to catch a famous San Diego sunset... you really can't go wrong here!

Fully stocked kitchen
Privacy doors to separate sleeping area from living

South Park is a charming residential area with popular neighborhood restaurants that range from innovative vegan food to upmarket Italian eats. Tree-lined Fern and 30th streets, the main thoroughfares, are also home to indie boutiques and cafes, while nearby Grape Street Dog Park has views over the downtown skyline. The adjacent Golden Hill area is known for its classic bungalow homes and artisanal coffee bars.

Credit card fees are non refundable. 5% of your deposit will not be returned upon cancellation.
Electrical in this studio is a bit backwards. The switch for the overhead light is on the same wall as the TV, but closer to kitchen counter.

Switch for the lights over the bed is to the left of the bed.

Should you run into issues with the Roku TV, first check to see if the remote needs batteries. There are new batteries in the drawer to the right of the entry door. If the remote is not connecting to the tv, it may need to be re-synced to the TV. To do this, you press the little black button located underneath the batteries of the remote. This is underneath the battery cover!

**Please do not put coffee grinds or eggshells down the garbage disposal**

A fantastic place for two to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary. Quiet neighborhood with several restaurants in walking distance and a short drive to Balboa park. The room was super clean, well stocked, and the bed was comfy. I would absolutely stay here again!

Medical conference trip

The apartment is a two-story house split into two different rooms. It was behind the main house and bordered with a well-landscaped area of shrubbery that kept the noise from the street away from the room. The interior was nice and cozy with nice accents. I felt the atmosphere was quite peaceful, and I had a very restful stay.

A Wonderful Experience

The property was just as amazing. Beautiful garden entrance into a secluded patio was just what I needed. Located just east of Balboa Park the neighborhood has small restaurants and stores mixed in among great southern California homes. The bed was so comfortable, sleeping in was a daily event. Loved it!

Perfect except for the loud neighbors

This place is adorable and was exceptionally clean. The only problem was the upstairs neighbors were so noisy. They had a child who cried on and off at night and woke up before 6 am and began to run and jump. Hopefully when you stay here the renters upstairs won’t have an active, loud child!

Quiet, private retreat in South Park

This little studio was of great comfort to us during our visit to San Diego this past week. The accommodations are comfortable, and the gardens on the property are lovely. We loved walking to the shops and restaurants on 30th and Fern streets, also walking the red sidewalks of the beautiful Burlingame neighborhood just a block north. We spent a lot of time visiting our San Diego families, so it was especially nice to have a quiet, peaceful place to return to when we needed a break from visiting. It's a great place to relax and take a few deep breaths! Whew!!

Beautiful courtyard

This is a beautiful property. Owner was attentive and asked if we need her to move a car so we could get parking close to the house. Parking on the street was never a problem. I loved the bed but my husband hated it. I felt like it was sleeping in a cloud very soft. My husband has a bad back and he was uncomfortable. Also a big problem was the lamp in the living room was so low my husband hit his head on it three times. Very cloisterphobic bathroom. Hoast was very accommodating with the parking situation. Cutest house in the area. Best landscaping in the neighborhood. Nice walkable to coffee shops.

Could not stay here

Property was as described until I noticed the smell. Very musty and mildewy. I found the smell unhealthy and intolerable, I tried running the air conditioner to air it out. It did not help. In the morning the unhealthy moldy smell was still there and had permeated my clothing. I contacted the host. She sent her daughter who turned on a large dehumidifier which seemed to make it worse. I ended up staying just one night and have paid for 4 nights. I notified the host that I could not stay there. I requested a refund for two nights which seemed fair to me. She said to contact VRBO. VRBO has attempted to contact her by phone and by email and they have received no response.
