Adorable and perfect location

The place is exactly what you see online. Adorable and very cozy. My husband and I came for a long weekend and the location is walking distance to great restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The patio/backyard area is adorable and we had everything that we needed. Short drive to so many other places to visit like the Zoo and Balboa Park. The icing on the cake was the host! She is super attentive and responds quickly. We will be back!

Charming private get-away

Thank you Beena for such a charming place for us to stay. We had a great time! This place we super clean and private. The décor is delightful and the private yard space was the gem of it all; plus, it was super close to many restaurants for us to walk too. Thanks again. We will be back for another stay soon.

About the host

Hosted by BEENA MASELLIS

Welcome to my San Diego Air BnB! I'd be delighted to host you at my house. I have been self employed for over 15 years and hail from Edmonton, Canada. My family and I moved to San Diego and I love the weather and lifestyle that SD offers. I hike almost every day with my dog! I enjoy exploring neighborhoods and restaurants so please ask me some tips of where to hang out or where to eat!

Why they chose this property

University Heights is a family friendly neighborhood where there are two dogs to every one person. :) It reminds me of a vacation getaway, like in a mountain town or something. You wouldn't believe how many birds are in my yard! People are friendly and I really like that I can walk to coffee shops, restaurants and little shops close by. Esquire named the LAFAYETTE hotel as the best new hotel in the USA 2024 - and I have walked there from this house. It was safe and I like all the old spanish houses. Within driving distance is a whole foods, snap dragon stadium, balboa and beaches. The loud bar scene and super touristy very young and wild scene steered by alcohol is not present in this area and that is another huge bonus. The party goers like the louder parts of north park and gas lamp when visiting San Diego so I tend to have more mature guests or families.

What makes this property unique

My property has a private fenced yard. The front porch is quiet and really nice to sit and enjoy a coffee. Being tucked into a residential street with other families yet walkable to coffee shops and restaurants makes this property a true vacation getaway, a home away from home. You will like this place to sit and lounge outside, in privacy!
Coming and going with your own private entrance. I really styled the place to give you a retro vibe but still stylish because I bought all new linens, pillows and mattresses.
You will feel comfortable and relaxed. I have had a few couples come and enjoy their anniversary together and they found it a romantic space perfect for two.

When you see some of the original features of this place, like the rounded corner kitchen cabinets which I painted in an updated pink to really highlight the original 1950's aura that the cottage projects!
The ironing board that pops out of the wall like we have seen in 50's shows., a front door peep hole, Jalousie California windows in the kitchen. I hadnt seen those type of windows until moving to San Diego because you cannot have that kind of window in the cold weather of Canada!
