Designer Craftsman: Heart of San Diego w/ FirePit
Kaitlin was SO responsive! The space was in a really cute neighborhood with lots of fun things and restaurants within walkable distance. No loud neighbors or anything to distract from sleeping. The space was immaculate and had tons of extra towels, which was awesome. The bathroom had been renovated, and the shower was great. It was perfect for what we needed, and we are so appreciative of her hospitality!

#401 Loft Suite -4 beds w Parking Top Floor -700sf
This is a a loft in a great location. Walkable to convention center. So many great places to eat. Dishwasher was not working while we were there, but it was no big deal. Really appreciated all the amenities: laundry in the unit, near-full size fridge, stove, air conditioning. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

King Bed | Near Zoo | Convention Center | Downtown
This location is close to so many great amenities and parks. My favorite part was our peaceful morning walks around the neighborhood and discovering nearby cafes. We were a group of four ladies and felt very safe the entire time. Parking is street only, which can be a little tricky at night, but I was always able to find a spot just a block away. The home itself is super cozyāperfect for a group of four. It was very clean and well-organized. I really appreciated the little touches like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner provided, something not every Airbnb offers! If you're planning to hit the beach, make sure to bring beach towels and maybe a blanket to lay on. Many beaches in San Diego donāt have much shade, so be prepared for the sun! Thank you for letting us stay in your cute place. Also, shoutout to Paulāhe was always available and responded to my texts immediately. Great host!

NEW Organic Modern Luxury Oasis
Great host, everything in terms of shops and restaurants are nearby and I would definitely stay here again!

Spacious Apartment in Gaslamp, Sleeps 5 w/ Parking
Our host was very responsive, flexible and nice. Thank you for an easy stay.

Bright Remodeled 2 beds Studio Close Little Italy
Very grateful to Vivian for the accommodation provided! It was very clean, cozy, convenient location. A small kitchen is very useful if you are traveling with small children. The owner is very friendly, always in touch and ready to help! The apartment fully corresponds to the description. We will definitely stay here again! 100% recommend)

The Himalayan in Bankers Hill!
Christieās AB&B was immaculate & comfortable. The garden and patio are lovely. We really appreciated use of the washer & dryer. An added plus was meeting Christie who is pleasant, helpful and friendly.

Ocean Front Beach Condo
My favorite rental!! Clean, beautiful views. Rick was very responsive and accommodating! Had a wonderful stay!
Private apartment rentals

Charming and Pleasant Place
Small cottage at the back of the house in a quiet neighborhood. Hard to believe that a major highway is just two minutes away. Good supermarket only 10 minutes walk away. Restaurants and shops in North Park also within walking distance. Easy to get around by car as well. Lots of hot water in bathroom. Kitchen is small though adequately stocked. While the living room looks out onto the patio of the house, it was quite private during my 5 days there.

One bedroom expansive city and bridge view
I had a great stay and will definitely stay again when in SD. I loved the eclectic, friendly neighborhood and downtown, Balboa Park, Fiesta Island, Point Loma and OB were all an easy, quick drive away. The casita was comfortable and had great views! Highly recommend!

Stylish Top Floor ⢠King Bed | Views + Parking
Such a great space. Really peaceful and stylish. The space was utilized well and very comfortable. The rooftop area is beautiful and such a great add. Hosts were communicative, friendly and diligent.

Big Studio with Ocean View max 6 sleepers
It was a beautiful place. It was actually better than what I actually thought very spacious clean and the host was very friendly and always responsive anytime I need anything. I recommend this place to anyone lots to do. Nice surroundings NFL and I felt safe.I will definitely stay there again

Convenient Apt 5 mins to DT/ sleeps 4 w/ AC/heat
Kristen was very nice and easy to communicate with. The place was as described in the pictures, small but still felt spacious and comfortable. Although we were forewarned, I did not expect that large of a number of homeless encampments directly in front of the building. Many homeless in tents alongside the freeway entrance adjacent to our building. Very loud freeway at night with cars and motorcycles going by. Understandably things out of our hosts control. Building still felt safe with its many gated and code entry doors. Plentiful street parking.

Modern Luxe Apartment
We had a wonderful stay at Isaacās place! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Isaac was a great hostāfriendly, responsive, and made check-in and check-out super easy. The location was perfect and made our trip even more enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Mexican-Inspired Retreat in the City
This place was in a great location for all of the things we wanted to do while in San Diego. Little Italy, Balboa park, and the bay were walking distance(30 min or less). Ubering to La Jolla, Ocean Beach, Barrio Logan, and Old Towne were all under $30. The room is a little crammed and there is not storage space for clothes aside from a 3 foot long bar equipped with hangers. However I think it is perfect for 1 person that is staying 3-5 days in San Diego that just needs comfy bed. The parking lot on the south side of the building is a little sketchy at night due to homeless setting up shop. I would advise parking in the street parking on the north side of the building. Overall, a good place for the price and location! Ed is super responsive and very friendly. Also, the decoration is a great touch!

Modern suite | @Gaslamp Quarter!
The host was responsive and helpful. The place was perfect for what I was looking for. If youāre looking to eat in SanDiego and adventure out this is a perfect place!
Apartment rentals with a hot tub

"10 min away from everything"
Place was very nice and worked well for us. Definitely keeping in mind for future visits.

Literal neighbor to Balboa Park!
Jeff and Amador have really done a fabulous job make this apartment warm and beautiful. And they were so pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed. The building, and location were first class. The view of the church out the living room window was a plus!

Spacious Apartment Over Balboa
Perfect location in the building; on the same floor as the gym which was a nice perk. Rooftop is beautiful. Location is perfect, we were able to walk everywhere or take a short uber/lyft. Unit is clean, bright, modern, & refreshingly minimalist. Parking was only a small challenge over the weekend but we always found something right on the park or reasonably nearby most of the time. Tucker was super responsive with any and all questions leading up to and during our stay. We plan on trying to book this very unit again in the near future as it felt like the perfect little home away from home. Thank you Tucker!

8 Holiday Ocean Breeze
Super convenient location - just minutes from the beach!! And all of the beach gear you could think of (beach bag, beach towels/chairs, umbrella, beach games, etc.) was provided making our trip super easy :)

Breathtaking Ocean, Bay, City & Petco Park Views
Charlotta was very helpful with the instructions and communicative. The apartment was perfect for our stay to watch the Padres play. Lots of walkable things to do. The apartment felt like home and was comfortable. Easy check in and checkout. I would stay again and recommend it to anyone you wants bay and city views.

Hot Tub, New 2 Bedroom Park Blvd Condo
I'll say Yes! My family absolutely had a great time staying at Melissaās place. A wonderful and cozy apartment, walkable environment with restaurants and short drive to everything you'll need including getting to the highway. We will definitely book this place again the next time we have need to visit San Diego. Thanks Mellissa.

Hidden Gem with Hot Tub and Parking - 4 Guests
Enjoyable little apartment within a short drive to just about everything San Diego has to offer.

Walk to Balboa Park South Park Hot Tub Hideaway
Sean's place was exactly as he described, a perfect respite. Been coming to San Diego for years to visit family and hands down this place has the best parking options I have ever experienced in SD. Plenty of easy street parking within feet of the unit and up and down the short city block. A true rarity in SD, even had spots open on garbage day. Super quiet street and neighborhood too. We'll be back.
