Great location

Our stay was great. Host was very responsive if we had any questions. We appreciated the extra snacks and waters as our kids are always hungry. The washer and dryer are located in the garage which makes parking an SUV inside impossible. However there was street parking right outside. Overall it was a great location for what we needed.

Great location and communication

We were able to walk to park and restaurants while the highways were close by as well. The small patio in the back was good. The owner checked in to see if everything was ok and there were snacks and drinks.

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.

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.

Perfect!

We stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon and it was everything we needed! The location was fantastic! Our truck would not fit in the little garage but there was plenty of street parking and we never had to park far from the unit! The kitchen is well stocked and everything was super clean! We would stay again!

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 location

This rental was perfectly located for enjoying Balboa Park. We appreciated the house rules as this is a duplex with the other side of the property being rented as well. While the walls between the units are pretty thin, the other guests respected the quiet times.

Excellent Location for zoo and Balboa Park

A 12-minute walk or a 3-minute drive to the front of the zoo, this is a great choice for a couple or small family. The kitchen is well-supplied with the basic equipment for easy meal prep (with the added bonus of some snacks and cold water and soft drinks), and the private patio is a bonus for enjoying San Diego weather. The host responds quickly to any questions and is quite helpful.
