In the morning, you can wake up and enjoy a variety of local coffee shops with tastes of Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico or India, in addition to a Starbucks for more local flavor. There is also a local 24-hour Rite Aid pharmacy available to you as well.

The house is situated on a cul-de-sac end-street, peaceful and quiet next to the canyon, but also close to everything. The property was fully renovated on 2012, and The City of San Diego by the Hillcrest Town Council honored the property with the LION award for enhancing the appearance of the City.

Parking in San Diego can be very complicated. San Diego Zen includes one gated off street parking spot for you. It can accommodate even the biggest SUV.

All the beautiful spaces that you see in the photos are for your exclusive enjoyment, they are not shared with other units or guests, no one has access to this areas, they are for your private use.

In SD Zen you will enjoy the best amenities like tempur-pedic King-size bed, Egyptian cotton sheets and a pillow menu. The extra large closets can accommodate all of your clothes, without cramping, as well as your shoes in the shoe-only closet and your souvenirs and shopping bags. There is also a spacious desk where you can connect your devices to the home Wi-Fi network, check email, plan your trip and work from your vacation home. When you need to rest after exploring beautiful San Diego, turn on the 42-inch LED TV and enjoy one of the 200+ channels available to you, rent a movie and use the blue ray or turn apple tv on.

The amazing spa/bathroom is equipped with hydromassage spa tub, walk-in rain shower with top and side jets, as well as beautiful modern double-sinks with Swarovski crystal LED lights.

Crossing just outside of the beautiful French-doors of the Master suite, you will find your own outdoor kitchen, always usable in sunny San Diego, on a seven-hundred square foot patio, with a built-in barbecue, a mini-refrigerator, microwave, toaster and a coffee maker. The patio also has a dining set and an outdoor living area with a beautiful red wood pergola that contrasts with the gold Brazilian granite countertops. Enjoy sitting down on the patio with a glass of wine and watch the sunset. The entire property has been fenced with beautiful natural stone and redwood for your privacy and security. You also have your own enclosed parking area with an automatic gate.

The entire place is professionally cleaned every single time a guest checks out and before arrival. A house keeping team of professionals washes and deep cleans everything in the house to provide the best SD Zen experience.

A bus stop is available only two minutes walking from the house and the trolley station is also minutes away. Directly in front, is an entrance to Balboa Park and the canyon, take and after dinner walk there is very peaceful and relaxing.

    Everything was in good working condition. The outdoor kitchen had most of the things needed to fix meals. We really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and the place was romantic. If we ever return, we would gladly stay there again. Host was quick to respond to any questions.

    What a lovely spot to rest and recharge while experiencing all that San Diego has to offer. The outdoor space is truly a great way to enjoy the SD weather while enjoying a meal or just reading a book. We had a wonderful stay!

    The property serves up all the amazing amenities seen on the site. And the location is great; close and easy access to the highway to make it easy to head out on any adventure you want. Plus Tim’s of attractions are near by the property.But what made it even more amazing was the organization of everything and the great communication we had with the host. Ricardo was nothing less than awesome with his prompt and informative response and accommodating any needs we had. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking.
