Hillcrest House | Bright and Quirky Hillcrest Craftsman

2 Bedroom House in Hillcrest, San Diego

Funky & vivacious, this dog-friendly 2 bedroom craftsman is centrally-located. Set between Hillcrest and Mission Hills, our location is walkable to countless coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. We are a short drive to Downtown, Gaslamp District, Balboa Park, SD Zoo, Midway, and Coronado. This charming house is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and your furry friends.
We are looking forward to hosting you!
Our groovy space includes 2 bedrooms with 1 king size bed and 1 queen sized bed, a funky & fun living space with pull out couch that will surely brighten your day, a laundry room (shared with the guests in the back house) and 1 bathroom with shower (no tub). The kitchen comes with everything you need including gas stove, microwave, and drip coffee maker. There are ceiling fans in the living room and master bedroom, as well as portable AC units in each bedroom. Wifi, Roku TV, and a designated work space makes this house the perfect retreat after a day of sight-seeing. Dining table, and outdoor seating. Parking for at least 2 cars. Along with the charm of an older Craftsman home, there are also some quirks. There are limited electrical outlets throughout the home. You must walk through the first bedroom to gain access to the second.
The entire front half of the property is yours including the private fenced front yard and multiple car driveway. There is a rear guesthouse that is separate and has its own yard. The laundry (that is part of the main house but is separate and locked off from your space) is shared common space for the use of both units.
Check-in is virtual, as you`ll be provided with a digital Guest Portal and a personalized door code. Vacation Rentals by Aaron is a full-service property management company, and will be available 24-7 in case you need anything during your stay.
Hillcrest is the hub of San Diego`s LGBT community and is populated by numerous locally owned businesses and specialty stores. Mission Hills is a largely residential neighborhood with a two-block strip featuring farm-to-table restaurants and local coffee shops.
If you don`t want to touch a steering wheel on your vacation, we`ve got you covered. Our house is conveniently located and central to all that San Diego has to offer. Numerous restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are within walking distance. Effortless public transit and ride-sharing to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. If you do have a vehicle though, the beach or harbor is only a 10-15 min quick drive. Only 2.3 miles to San Diego Zoo and 5.9 miles to SeaWorld!
Please utilize the driveway for your cars as the street parking in front of the home is by permit only.
For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month`s rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Summary: Quirky is a good description. The house is very cute with fun colors and wallpaper, nicely supplied with everything you need (extra credit for a decent frying pan!) but it's has quirks - including the management company's app. We had trouble with the heater which is noisy and oddly placed in the floor and the stove. The manager got all of our problems fixed quickly, but there were enough quirks to subtract one star. Also, an emergency room is very close so ambulances. and the occasional helicopter, are constantly making noise. The neighborhood was fine. We enjoyed walking to a few restaurants. The house is centrally located and easy to get to all the San Diego attractions.
