Perfect for our family trip
The studio was perfect for our family of four. Everything was perfectly clean and exactly as the listing says. The beds were comfortable as well. We absolutely loved the view out all the windows overlooking the city.

A+ Experience
We loved everything about our stay. Great communication from the moment we made our reservation through our time there. Loved the quaintness and charm of the location and it was the perfect home base for a weekend of baseball and exploring the San Diego coastline. It had everything we needed. Would recommend/stay there again.

Sweet loft
Josh is a really super nice guy and not a hover host, he is 100% available if you need his help . The view is beautiful and the area safe. I cannot find any negatives about this Vrbo. We will return as we have family in SD.

CLEANEST Stay we’ve had
Property cleanliness is our top requirement for any stay. We are willing to drive further just to achieve this. The hosts here provide a property that is true to the listing. Top communication and amenities make it feel better than a hotel. Would absolutely stay again, the pictures are accurate of what you can expect.

Needs improvement
We stayed 5 nites. There's no cliset to hang clothes or dresser to put clothis in. We had to luve out of our suitcase for the week. Bed is too small. I think its a double. Property manager was great! We had issues with TV and he had it fixed immediately. The coffee maker was broken and we had a new one the next morning. We brought our dog and taking her out at night was tough because there was no lighting on the side of the house.

Wonderful Time
We had a wonderful stay at this mountain location. A beautiful view on three sides of our room. Very clean, very quiet. Our small dog loved it, she was very content. It was equipped with everything that is needed, just like our home. The location was a bit hard to find at first but very secure. We would recommend this place to anyone. The owners are very kind and cordial.Kudos to them.

Best host ever!!!!
I cant even say the right words to do justice about my stay. The place was spotless...it had plenty of everything you can think of...and Josh is the host with the most. He was very considerate of timing of my arrival offering to turn on lights if after dark, he checked in to see if i needed anything and the best part is he loaded me up with avocados and pomegranates to take home. I will absolutely book again...thank so much for a great stay!

Amazing views, super clean
The loft was perfect for us (2 adults + small dog). We loved how clean bright it was and the views were outstanding! It had literally everything we needed- kitchen stuff, laundry, etc. The bed was comfortable, AC easy to use. We tried Hana Sushi, which the host recommended, and we loved it. Here's a tip if you bring your dog: there's a lot of dogs in the neighborhood that barked at us while walking our dog, but we discovered Wells Park nearby has a few big fenced dog parks and nice little paved path and is only a few minutes drive away.

Room with a view
Came to Hilltop with my two kids to visit family. If I had to sum up my experience in one statement, it would be a peaceful getaway. Plenty of room, very clean, and the views are unmatched. Kids thoroughly enjoyed their time, and I couldn’t be happier. Oh, and did I mention you are 5 minutes from all amenities in El Cajon or Ranch San Diego? Best of all worlds. We will be back.

Quiet, private retreat
Great home base for exploring the San Diego area if you have a car that can get up a moderately steep hill. Finding the place can be a little tricky, but the neighborhood is quiet and the room (really your own fully-furnished studio apartment) is modern and clean. The only problem I had as a larger-than-average human is the mattress with the slatted base would slide off its supports frequently.

Amazing place
We were a family of 4 and we were very comfortable. The kitchen is amazing, is a full stove and huge microwave with a large refrigerator. The washer and dryer came super handy. The views in the morning are amazing, it has some of the best views I have seen in San Diego. It has windows in every angle. Close enough to everything (20 mins to any attraction). If you are looking for a great place to retreat after a long day of sightseeing, this is the place!!!! The supermarket (VONS) is about a mile away. Extremely quiet and it has a super cute hang out place that makes you feel like you are in a cabin up in the mountains somewhere remote, but you are not. Josh was the most attentive host we’ve ever deal in a rental…amazing place.

Quiet and very clean!
My family and I needed a place to stay locally as we had to temporarily relocate after a water leak at our home close by. Everything we need was there to cook with, and keep up with laundry etc. Comfortable beds, good people, and amazing views!
