About this property

Golden Hill Serenity House near Gas Lamp and convention Center

My home is located in the very nice walkable neighborhood of Golden Hill, in Sunny San Diego. Just walking to the starbucks two blocks away, your eyes will be busy with our many beautiful homes and sense of pride in our community. Or maybe a two minute walk to Luigi's Famous pizza for a slice of the Mona Lisa. The Turf Club for a Drink in the vintage throwback decor or maybe just down for some coffee at Dark Horse or Krakatowa. Just two minutes from Balboa park and our Famous Zoo.

The space

I built "The Barn" in 2010, I live on the second and third floors and the guest house is on the 1st floor, It has Granite Countertops, Two full baths, quick hot water and a breeze that shoots up from the ocean and right in the window. My yard is very tropical with a active Koi pond and pier. The temperature in my yard is usually about 5 degrees cooler than outside the gate. I have lived on the property for over twenty years and I cannot see myself anywhere else.

Guest access

You will have access to the patio, bbq and the first floor unit. There is a full gourmet Kitchen, two baths and a outdoor area for the pets to to there business.

Interaction with guests

I live right above and will be there for any of your questions. I tend to talk alot, so if you ask me a question, be prepared to take a seat.

Other things to note

As with much of San Diego located near Balboa Park we are under the flightpath the planes come and go but they usually stop by 1030. Next to Starbucks is Spevalada Meats, he's a second generation butcher and takes pride in his cuts. And for our Beer connoisseur, Krisps has a selection you will never be able to get through.

I walk everywhere, Goergiano's, Starbucks, Golden Hill Cafe, Over the freeway to Roberto's. The Bridge rail was designed by an artist and when you cross with a metal tool you can play a song that is the same in both directions. Some of San Diego's oldest mansions are just up the road and the neighborhood is safe to walk, Luigi's Pizza is my favorite, gotta try the "white girl". Or have dinner at the turf club and cook your own steak in the atmosphere of "the brat pack" with red leather throughout.

Getting around

If you have a thing for public transit, the bus is right on the corner, I would suggest Uber or Lift. Most locations are fairly close and the ride is quick and affordable. However, it is always a treat to take the trolley to Tijuana or Old town. If you rent a car, be aware we are in the city and parking can be challenging at times.

Great cozy place

Daniel was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. In spite of its stated size, its layout was great and provided enough space for all 5 of us. We loved the outdoor spaces to hang out and the beds were really comfortable. Thank you so much!

Nice property in good location w/parking spot.

Enjoyed our stay and was only an 8 minute drive from downtown. Having a parking spot was very convenient and communication with the owner was great. Checking in and out was very easy too.

Perfect LOCATION

So enjoyed meeting Daniel and his dogs, he was super friendly.. His place is charming, spacious and clean. Loved the outdoor sitting area with so many different kinds of plants and shade and fountains. Walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store and coffee shops and you have free parking…I’ll definitely be back

The owner, Dan, was attentuve ti our needs and friendly to speak to. He gave an overall view of the property's history. I would recommend this property. However, the amount of greenery throught out the outside was a bit much for our taste.

Good choice

Spacious accommodations, and the location was perfect for our itinerary. Glad to have a designated parking spot. Would suggest a few more dishes/bowls/cups in the kitchen and fixing the bedroom door that sticks a bit. Overall a nice place to stay. We appreciated the tip to eat at Luigi's!! Also, be sure to check out Panchita's Bakery across the street. Your sweet tooth and wallet will be happy. :)

A pleasant stay but a little rough around the edges

We were a group of four adults and 1 toddler. Furniture and linens/towels were in good condition. We found the beds comfortable. Pleasantly surprised to find a high chair available to use! FYI: The AC is a separate unit located in the kitchen, it is not controlled by the wall thermostat. We didn't realize this the first day/night and got quite warm. A few items did need attention: the shower doors are not attached at the bottom so they swing back and forth when being moved, also the rail on the exterior of the door does not stay attached, the tub/shower diverter in the hallway bathroom is not working properly and the water is always split between the shower head and the spigot, some windows could not be opened due to missing hardware, some damaged blinds

En los detalles está la diferencia

Es una pena que con muy poco esfuerzo y dedicación el lugar hubiese sido perfecto. La ubicación es de auténtico diez, la casa tiene todas las comodidades necesarias, las camas son muy cómodas , habitaciones, baños y cocina limpias. El propietario agradable pero a penas tuvimos trato. Nos trajo una caja de botellas de agua. A mejorar: La entrada con la fuente de agua es un pasillo de acceso a un porche común que realmente es inservible para la estancia en la casa, todo lleno de trastos, muy sucio, comederos de gatos... El jardín es muy bonito pero no se puede disfrutar son todonestrechos pasillos de acceso, las plantas llenas de hojas secas, la fuente con figuras caidas. Sólo se dispone realmente de un pequeño patio con acceso desde la cocina que tuvimos que fregar el primer día, lleno de telas de araña y suelo con excrementos de aves. Las moscas y los mosquitos realmente son a cientos, hemos vuelto llenos de picaduras a casa. El menaje de cocina realmente escaso, mucha tapa de tupper y cacharros inútiles por todos lados. Las sartenes tuvimos que fregarlas el primer día con estropajo de aluminio ya que estaban negras. Es una pena que sin invertir dinero, solo mejorando los detalles la casa estaría perfecta.

A Nice Stay

Check-in was a breeze, as was check-out. We did have an incident where someone opened the door with our code at 3:24 am Monday morning...apparently, it was the next guest. I'm thinking the code needs to be changed between guests. Comfortable place, and the location is great - Luigi's Pizza, (meatball sub & calzone) is delicious!

Amazing location for our San Diego stay

Amazing location for our family holiday! Communication was prompt and easy. The lights on the porch area were such a nice welcome after a long days drive. The sleeping set up was great for a family of five with more space if needed. Beach chairs, toys and laundry access were added bonuses.

Lovely

Our stay was lovely. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The house was just as listed and expected. Even though we showed up an hour early to the house they were kind and understanding of it. The beds were very comfortable, like sleeping on clouds. We were surprised at finding water bottles and chips left for our use which was very nice. We hope to use this home again in our future family trips to San Diego.
