Hillcrest House | Bright and Quirky Hillcrest Craftsman

2 Bedroom House in Hillcrest, San Diego

Summary:
Funky & vivacious, this dog-friendly 2 bedroom craftsman is centrally-located. Set between Hillcrest and Mission Hills, our location is walkable to countless coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. We are a short drive to Downtown, Gaslamp District, Balboa Park, SD Zoo, Midway, and Coronado. This charming house is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and your furry friends.
We are looking forward to hosting you!
The Space:
Our groovy space includes 2 bedrooms with 1 king size bed and 1 queen sized bed, a funky & fun living space with pull out couch that will surely brighten your day, a laundry room (shared with the guests in the back house) and 1 bathroom with shower (no tub). The kitchen comes with everything you need including gas stove, microwave, and drip coffee maker. There are ceiling fans in the living room and master bedroom, as well as portable AC units in each bedroom. Wifi, Roku TV, and a designated work space makes this house the perfect retreat after a day of sight-seeing. Dining table, and outdoor seating. Parking for at least 2 cars. Along with the charm of an older Craftsman home, there are also some quirks. There are limited electrical outlets throughout the home. You must walk through the first bedroom to gain access to the second.
Guest Access:
The entire front half of the property is yours including the private fenced front yard and multiple car driveway. There is a rear guesthouse that is separate and has its own yard. The laundry (that is part of the main house but is separate and locked off from your space) is shared common space for the use of both units.
The Neighborhood:
Hillcrest is the hub of San Diego's LGBT community and is populated by numerous locally owned businesses and specialty stores. Mission Hills is a largely residential neighborhood with a two-block strip featuring farm-to-table restaurants and local coffee shops.
Getting Around:
If you don't want to touch a steering wheel on your vacation, we've got you covered. Our house is conveniently located and central to all that San Diego has to offer. Numerous restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are within walking distance. Effortless public transit and ride-sharing to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. If you do have a vehicle though, the beach or harbor is only a 10-15 min quick drive. Only 2.3 miles to San Diego Zoo and 5.9 miles to SeaWorld!

Please utilize the driveway for your cars as the street parking in front of the home is by permit only.

Summary: Overall good stay, water heater was off but that might have been due to a recent power outage ( construction was occurring directly outside the property ). Otherwise not terrible stay. The shared laundry was a bit odd and too close to one bedroom. Could not lock the kitchen door due to the house setup have the rest of the house available if someone else is sleeping in the other room. The house is in a great spot for nightlife and restaurants so thats a plus, be aware of the helipad ( at the hospital ) if it lands at night you hear and feel it... :)
