My family and I greatly enjoyed this property! Amazing University Heights location, very quaint neighborhood overlooking Mission Valley to the north. The location was extremely accessible to a number of highways taking you in any direction, and the home was within 10mins of the airport rental car center. Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo were within 10mins drive, SeaWorld & Mission Bay within 15mins drive; Mission Valley Shopping was less than 5mins. When traveling with a toddler, there’s nothing more important that reducing idle car seat time between destinations, whenever possible—which helps maintain sanity longer, giving your vacation the best chance at success!
Food options were amazingly plentiful in University Heights and Hillcrest, whether restaurants or grocery stores. I’d recommend a little coffee shop, Meraki Café which was a few blocks from the home—great breakfast options! The home itself was delightful, and the fenced in side-yard was perfect to keep our little explorer from wandering too far. It’s a cozy place, so I wouldn’t recommend for larger parties, but our party of 2.5 nestled in perfectly. Home is well stocked, and the cupboard contributions of past guests ensures many of your basic needs are covered—and the additional extra leave-behinds I’m sure you’ll also part with, will definitely be pleasantly received by the next guest. I think that just adds to the continuous story about your rental property, and how its guests are connected to the property’s amazing experience and ongoing story.
You really get a chance to “live” like a local here, and fit into the community! Do yourself a favor—don’t pass up on this property. Heart this property in your short list of San Diego properties, and jump on it if you get the chance—you won’t be sorry!
