This place is good value for cost. It’s not super fancy, but the owner is upfront about that. It has everything you need to enjoy the Hillcrest neighborhood in San Diego. James was responsive and seems like a kind person. Some days the upstairs guests are noisy, but not terrible. It’s about a 15 minute drive to the beach. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a straightforward rental where you can be left alone in an amazing location and walking distance to balboa park or anything in Hillcrest.
