Beautiful house & location; responsive host!
We (two couples) enjoyed this beautiful home in San Diego for a week and highly recommend the property! The Hillcrest location is a short drive (or Uber ride - $9) away from downtown and nearby is Balboa Park. Our intent was to ride our tandem bikes in the warmth of the San Diego sun while it snowed at home, and to do some sight-seeing in this beautiful area. The house is a couple of blocks off of University Avenue, close to many, many restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and shopping. (We really enjoyed the nearby Amarin Thai place.)
The home was spotlessly clean and well stocked - all you need to make easy dinners at the house when you didn’t want to go out to eat. The house is beautiful and comfortable inside. The big flat-screen TV in the living room had cable and Apple TV available allowing anyone to access Netflix or other apps). Each master bedroom had comfy queen beds. en suite bathrooms with showers and a large TV. We appreciated having a washer and dryer available for our use. The use of combination locks meant we didn’t have to use keys to gain access to the property or the house. And we also really appreciated having a locked garage to park our minivan with the tandem bikes inside.
Wade, our host, was extremely friendly, responsive and helpful throughout our stay (even though we never met him in person). Anytime we texted him via Airbnb, he responded within a minute or so.
Overall, the combination of location, amenities and host responsiveness give this property a top rating
