Centrally located, quiet and clean residence
Perfect for a couple, this clean and comfortable Hillcrest one bedroom suite was as advertised. The hosts were excellent to communicate with, and the check in process was seamless. The snacks and drinks were a bonus, and there was plenty of room in the suite for us. Would recommend this property for a couple and I would definitely return the next time I’m in San Diego.

Location is wonderful! The house needs a to be updated a bit. There is an annoying, constant squeaky sound from the unit above the couch that needs to be addressed. I don’t like that we have to pay a cleaning fee and yet strip the bed, take out the trash and do the dishes. Either lower the fee or include the after stay in the fee. The place is too small to warrant both.

Fabulous stay
This unit was a great place for a week stay. The kitchen was well stocked. We did not have a car, and all the sites we went to were via walking, lyft or city bus.

Delightful condo
This was our 2nd stay at the Hideaway and once again we found the cozy condo to be exceptionally clean and comfortable. The little touches of complimentary coffee and snacks are so appreciated and Efrain is a wonderful host who went out of his way to help me retrieve an item left behind. Thank you and we will be back.

Great place and neighborhood
Stayed here for a couple of days to visit the SD Zoo. The zoo was an easy walking distance both too and from after a long day at the zoo. Communication was prompt and clear with the owners. Property was clean and had an abundance of amenities and extras. If i travel to SD again, I would stay here again.

Location, Location, Location and a really nice place
We spent the past two weeks in this apartment and had a wonderful time visiting tourist attractions and going out of the city area to the beaches, and parks. The zoo was less than 1/2 mile walking from our door to their gates. Driving times to anywhere in the city area to the border, Zoo Safari and the beaches was 15-25 minutes max. Entrances to the highway system were close by. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and charming with lots of craftsman houses. I found a walking trail cutting through the community in a small canyon. Vey cool. The apartment itself had everything we needed to cook and eat all our meals, full size fridge with ice and water dispenser, full stove/oven, coffee pot and toaster. the bed was very comfortable and the hot water was plentiful. We loved the full size washer/dryer in the garage. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and everything is maintained well. The owners left us a selectin of K-cups, snacks and bottled water gratis. Response from the owner on a small issue was impressive , polite and welcoming. For those who love BIG TVs - the TV in the living room will exceed your expectations. You can stream any service on it. We just signed into our regular services. No local TV or Cable access. Wi-Fi was speedy during the day and the evening. Our only issue was the fact that one of us is 5'2" tall and and the shower head and table-top seating were just a bit high for comfort. I am 5'4" and I was fine. Highly recommend

Cozy spot near Balboa Park.
The house is a great value for the area, with easy access to Balboa Park and the surrounding areas. The guidebook provided by the host was helpful, along with the snacks and coffee. One criticism is that the power seemed to fluctuate when running multiple appliances causing the TV and lights to dim. The bedroom shares a wall with the neighboring unit and the sound transmits pretty easily from the other unit, so ear plugs are recommended. I brought this up to the host and they were quick to let our neighbors know to keep it down at night. Water pressure was great, having access to a patio was a nice convenience as well. Overall this was the perfect spot for us and our two dogs.
