My husband, myself and our dog needed a much getaway after staying home for much of Thanksgiving and Christmas due to the CoVID19 pandemic. We decided to take a last minute trip down to SD and selected Rick's villa out of all the options available to us to get out of the house for NYE weekend... Rick's little villa in the Hillcrest neighborhood is nestled in a quaint corner with a lush front yard to soak in the SD air. The villa comes with a private gate in the back that can spaciously fit a SUV. Checking in was smooth and as soon as you enter, there was a sanitizer station. Villa was very clean. The place had all the cooking utensils, doggie bowls and everything you need to make it a home away from home. Lots of food options and trader joes/ralphs less than .5 miles away and balboa park right there. We would love to be back!
