As far as I could tell, this property consisted of two buildings, one was a side-by-side duplex, and I believe the other was the residence of the property manager (though that last part is only a guess). We were housed in the duplex. Let me begin by saying that the unit was conveniently located for the downtown/Balbo Park area. Such is Hillcrest. It was all of a ten minute drive to the airport, and there were many, many cute restaurants with-in walking distance. In addition, the entrance to Balboa Park was literally a block away. The unit itself had a fully functioning and supplied kitchen, a living room, a single bedroom with a double bed and a single bathroom. So the question is, would I recommend this property. I guess I’d say, “Yes’, but with big helping of “read this first”. To be fair, it does indeed have everything I mentioned and for 1/3rd of the price for a hotel stay. But the property is rather dated. It was akin to staying at my grandmother’s. Everything was clean, but also showed signs of wear (cracked/missing tiles, chipped porcelain on the tub, broken floor board). Of course, some people love older homes, it’s the “authentic” B&B feel. If that’s you, you’ll likely not mind such idiosyncrasies. There are two other points that you should keep in mind about this property. The first is noise. Both from other tenants as well as from the neighborhood. As I mentioned, we were in the duplex which is a side-by-side design, meaning we were beside another guest. A family, actually. With little kids. The dividing wall is pretty thin. Fortunately they were quiet at night, but in the morning it was a bit loud. But then hey! If you are essentially just here to sleep, no problem. Except for the street noise. The windows are single pane, double-hung. Pretty much every sound comes through perfectly, and given the property is on a fairly busy street, the noise may be an issue especially if you are a light sleeper (count on nightly ambulances, motorcycles, and hotrods). Which leads me to the second point to keep in mind. As I, and many other reviewers have mentioned, the property is right smack in the middle of town, and San Diego isn’t small. In addition to the traffic, there are the people. In this case I mean homeless people, partiers, and others (gangs?). During the day there is no problem, but after dark...well let me just say that you will be glad that there are two security fences between you and them. We certainly walked to dinner and back, but were in by 8:00 at the latest. If you plan to be out later, I suggest caution. If fairness, I’d give the same advice in any big city. But in this case, there were congregants immediately in front of our unit (on 5th) and in the salon parking lot immediately to the side. In addition to the people and...
