Lovely Guesthouse in garden setting
We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

Pacific Beach Guest House With Garage and A/C
This was our second stay at Gina’s. We can get to the beach, a great coffee shop, and brewery with a 5 minute walk. It is a perfect spot for two people. It will always be our go to spot when in San Diego.

Spacious, private Mt. Helix country style studio
Absolutely worth it. Beautiful place. Cozy with gorgeous gardens. Also a nice welcome touch of bowl of fruits, chocolates and plenty to drink. Loved it.

La Casita - Fully Updated Casita in Mission Hills
The casita was perfect for one or two guests, intimate space but did the job. It was very clean, in a nice and quiet neighborhood. We took a walk one of the mornings to a nearby coffee shop which was very peaceful and enjoyable. The location is a short drive to downtown and the beach which was very convenient. I would stay here again.

New Guest House - North Park
This property was perfect. So beautiful, cozy, clean and well-equipped. It felt private but was a short walk to great restaurants, coffee shops and cute boutiques. We were traveling with an infant and Lynae went above and beyond in providing little extras that helped to make things easy for us. Would gladly stay here again.

Fletcher Hills - modern 1 BR.Easy, no step access.
This air bnb was the best place we could have stayed in San Diego. It had everything we needed and there were so many thoughtful touches. All I wanted was a Southern California beach vacation and Kristen had all of the gear we needed for that. We went to several beaches during our stay and it was about a 30 minute drive to every beach we went after waiting out morning rush hour traffic. Her backyard was my favorite part of our trip as we love watching sunrises and sunsets and it was so peaceful with great views. There is a lot of natural light in the air bnb as I didn’t understand initially there are solar tube lights throughout the unit which I thought were really cool. The air bnb is in a safe and quiet neighborhood and is a convenient location. The bed itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to cook meals with a full kitchen and be able to do laundry. I would definitely will return when back in San Diego.

Cosy quiet Guesthouse near SDSU
Desiree is such a sweet host! My husband, five month old, and I stayed in her Airbnb and we very much enjoyed our time. The place was well kept and clean. She had the guest house stocked with all the essentials which made it so nice and convenient. Anytime we had a question or request, she was quick to respond and resolve. The location is close to many great coffee shops, restaurants, and things to do. Glad we found this place and would definitely book it again in the future!!

Romantic Private Garden Studio Near Downtown
Great place! Beautiful garden. The studio is cozy but you’ll have everything you’ll need. Highly recommend.

Garden Casita
We enjoyed our stay at la casita, it was peaceful and felt like home. La casita is stunning and has a beautiful garden. We love la casita and for sure will be back whenever we visit again. Thank you pete for allowing us to stay for the weekend ✨

Private 1 BR Paradise retreat
Comfortable, cozy apartment with everything you could possibly need. Lovely setting that was very quiet. We were in town visiting family and did not have time to enjoy the pool and patio much but really appreciated the amenities. John and Jeanne were the best hosts we have ever had a AirBnB! Thank you both for such a great stay!

Da Hui Hut - La Mesa’s best view and spa
We've visited San Diego for years and enjoy this area of the city to visit family, get great mid-eastern food and visit Mount Helix. Mr. Helix has spectacular views from the Mexican Border to North County San Diego and this Da Hui Hut gave a front row seat since its located on it! The Hawaiian atmosphere made my wife feel like see was back home in Kona. This place offered exceptional value and we can't wait to visit again.

Cozy Urban Casita! Near Zoo, Gaslamp and Coronado
Amazing host! The space was very clean and a lot better than it looks in the pictures. I would definitely consider coming to this place again, especially considering the location. Overall excellent experience!

Cozy, Quiet and Private Backyard Studio Escape
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Stephanie's place! The space was spotless and made me feel right at home. The location was fantastic and the check-in process was incredibly easy. Stephanie was an outstanding host, always quick to respond to any questions. I especially loved the rain shower! I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting San Diego and would definitely love to stay here again!

New (2022) North Park Abode w/ Roof Deck
Had a gorgeous stay in San Diego! A quiet and gorgeous neighborhood that was close to everything we wanted to do. Everything was within 20 minutes of driving. Lauren and Boomer had easy instructions on how to check in and where to go. They had an even easier check out process, which was amazing. We will definitely stay with them again the next time we visit San Diego!

Heart of SD | Zoo Nearby | Private Patio | Central
Was quiet but still close enough to all the activities and restaurants. Perfect for a couples getaway.

Central studio w/ private outdoor space & parking
We stayed here for our Honeymoon Getaway, and I think this was just perfect for it! It had everything we needed as a young couple there to checkout the town. Nice fully stocked little kitchen perfect to prepare a few things in house, or have a refrigerator and microwave to save the leftovers after eating out. They even a few breakfast items and things stowed away in the pantry closet that we found very helpful. Everything was as described, and very comfortable and clean. We would stay again 🥰

Beautiful Private Villa walk to beach
Kim is a cheerful, responsive, and helpful host, while being very respectful of our privacy and letting us be. She is a Perfect Airbnb host. Truly. She is very kind and knows the area, has a great presence and her place... just beautiful. Very comfortable. Immaculate. Has a full kitchen in an efficiency style with Sub-Zero fridge and gas range. I stayed with my newly pregnant daughter and took the sofa-bed so she could have the queen bedroom, and I must say, the sofa-bed is the most comfortable bed in the world. Very nice. High end. Her Villa is decorated in the most beautiful way and her gardens are like Eden itself. We can't wait to stay again and hope to see Kim again too. It was that good. Thank you so very much, Kim! You are the best!

Stunning Guest House 15 min. from Zoo, Downtown
Amazing cottage with a full kitchen and bathroom as well as a living room, decorated with exceptional sense of aesthetics. Its double doors opens to a great porch where you can enjoy wine and cheese at California evening, but you can also enjoy the clear sky during the day through the screen doors. It is so close to the downtown La Mesa with many great restaurants. Lynn was a great host and her freshly baked bread was so tasty as well. One of the best AirBNB I have experienced; highly recommended.

The Golden Hill mosaic "casita"
Very nice place, safe neighborhood, walkable to some stuff. Would repeat.

Guesthouse - prime location next to BEACH!
If you're looking for peace, relaxation and an escape from the stress of reality, this is the place. Peaceful, tranquil and serene. Walking distance to bike rentals, various coffee shops and restaurants. A staircase leading to the beach pretty much right outside your door and might I add glorious sunsets in the distance. I'd return!

Rancho Relaxo / Spacious Detached Guest House
Had the most relaxing solo vacay at Britt and Susie’s pool house. The house was exactly as described. I felt safe and comfortable. I was greeted by Britt when I arrived and he explained how to use all the house amenities. I enjoyed the pool and hot tub each day, which were very clean and well-landscaped. This place is a dream for a couple or solo traveler like me!

Ocean/Lagoon View/New Luxury Casita /Walk To Beach
This was the most perfect stay for my wedding weekend, the view is amazing and the private patio was so peaceful. I was able to get ready there the day of and feel so relaxed. They also accommodated our little bulldog which was so important and kindly gifted us with champagne. I would recommended this stay to everyone!

Early 1900's Carriage House w/Views
Nice, quiet and save neighborhood. Extremely nice and helpful hosts. Would definitely come again and highly recommend

Cozy Cottage 1/2 mile to North Park close to dtwn
Excellent place. We loved the location relative to the sites we wanted to see. Free parking, laundry, very well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed. We were very comfortable and happy here. And as a host Wendy was phenomenal. One of the most responsive hosts I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with on Airbnb. Thank you Wendy!!!
