This was my three-night home base for my first visit to SD in three years. I was welcomed with consummate hospitality throughout my stay: speedy responses to messaging, smooth check-in, wine and water in my room, a luxurious bed and the plushest towels. The unit is clean, well-stocked (for example, not just one but two fans in the bedroom, most handy for the weekend's weather), and comfortable throughout, just close enough to the main Hillcrest thoroughfare (groceries, eateries, and establishments aplenty), but offset enough to be private and quiet. I very much appreciated having my own bathroom directly across from my room. I only chatted with Darren and his partner briefly upon departing and returning each day, but I found them to be friendly, helpful, and with fascinating stories to share. The resident canine was quite playful. Urban walkers/hikers like me will find this to be a convenient starting point for treks in all directions (Balboa Park, Old Town, and North Park are reachable in an hour or less), but MTS buses are also nearby for convenience. This listing has my favourable recommendation.
