Great location

Lovely home, well equipped and close to restaurants. Would note that it really only sleeps 4 people in bedrooms - the huge couch is big enough for 2, but not with any privacy.

A Definite MUST Stay

Gina and Efrain were superb hosts, and welcomed us into their lovely home for a month. The house was perfect for our family. The location is ideal, the neighborhood safe, and the house was comfortable and inviting. We will definite return when we are back in San Diego. I would highly recommend as they are the best hosts.

A Piece of Paradise

The ultimate home away from home with everything we could have needed. Clean, clean , clean with the perfect location for wonderful places to explore and eat. A lovely backyard veranda full of squirrels, birds and foliage. Comfy beds and a very well appointed kitchen. We really recommend this place.

Comfortable, Very convenient location

We loved being able to walk to the Zoo and Balboa Park. The home was well laid out and perfect for our family. The outdoor deck and garden below made a very nice area to relax, and we enjoyed the spacious Kitchen, Dining area and Living room. The bathtub plug was missing, and it was a bit annoying to have to strip the beds before leaving, but overall we had a great stay and would recommend this place to others.

A Total Winner

My wife and I stayed in Hillcrest Canyon Treehouse (late September 2024) and every aspect of it was great. A lovely property. Clean, comfortable, well furnished and equipped, and in an amazingly quiet neighborhood, despite being within a block of the northern border of beautiful Balboa Park. The kitchen was spacious and had everything you could want. The outdoor deck (including the retractable awning) was a wonderful place to have your meals. It was super quiet and dark in the bedroom, and the AC made for a nice cool sleeping environment. No doubt about it--whenever in the future we are in San Diego, this is where we will be staying,

Great location, clean, quiet, all amenities

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and comfortable, providing all listed amenities and many others. It was a quiet street despite being just a few blocks from balboa park. The host provided a booklet on the property as well as lists of things to do and places to eat. It’s very close to museums and the zoo, but also not a long drive to sea world and the beach. We felt at home coming back each night after our daily excursions to a comfy couch and large TVs for family movie nights. We’d definitely stay here again!
