2 Bdrm 2 Bath Condo 2 Large Patios Neighboring Balboa Park

A lovely North Park property, close to restaurants, shopping, Balboa Park, downtown and the waterfront. The amazing wraparound deck and assigned indoor parking were a bonus. Rich was the consummate host ensuring our stay from check in to checkout was comfortable. He is easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our questions or issues. We stayed 2 months and Rich made us feel like this was our home. Thank you Rich for sharing this beautiful property with us!Alan & Sherry

I was here for an extended work assignment with the Navy and wanted a place close to Hillcrest/North Park for fun but also close to the Navy base for work. I got exactly what I wanted in this place. A beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath condo that’s very spacious inside but also has 2 extremely large outdoor patio areas for even more room. Walking distance to dozens of restaurants, bars, the world famous San Diego Zoo. I was very happy with this rental and working with Rich was also very easy. I would stay here again and recommend it for anyone needing a long-term rental in San Diego.

The only thing missing in our 2 month stay was warm weather. Believe it or not it snowed in San Diego during our visit. In spite of that we enjoyed our stay. Although the weather would not allow us to sit outside, the spacious patio was available on two sides of the living room. The kitchen was equipped with every utensil you would ever want or need and the underground parking was secure and easy to use. The property is centrally located for visiting the San Diego sites, and is within walking distance to the Zoo and Balboa Park. The living room/ dining room are well appointed and comfortable. Rich is an attentive and available owner and was very helpful in making our stay comfortable. We would certainly stay here again. Thanks Rich Dorothy and George

Rich has a beautiful, clean, tasteful, and extremely comfortable apartment which we were delighted to live in for a magical month in San Diego. Not only was the apartment beautifully furnished, but has reliable fast internet, great large flat-screen TV’s, electronics for playing music, automatic lighting, and a well outfitted kitchen. The beds and furniture are super-comfortable, and the the entire apartment spotless. One of the best features of this apartment is a very private and amazing huge terrace patio which every room of the apartment faces and/or opens to. This enables window coverings to be open all the time with 100% privacy looking out onto the lovely patio. The patio has soft cushion furniture for relaxing, or napping on - as well as a dining table and chairs where we had breakfast every morning. In addition there is a BBQ, and the area is beautiful lit at night as well. We also enjoyed eating dinner in the garden as well. The building itself seems very safe and secure. Location is wonderful right on the edge of Balboa Park for great hikes, walking, the tennis facility, dog park, etc. And, within a 5 minute drive we found excellent, reasonably priced lovely local restaurants. Shopping is a breeze with multiple supermarkets and Trader Joe’s within 5 minutes as well. We found the location very central and easy to get anywhere in town including being a very fast drive to Coronado and Mission Valley as well. Our one month rental this year was superb, and my recommendation carries the most weight knowing we have already engaged for a much longer rental again for next year. You won’t be disappointed.

Found the furniture uncomfortable and the condo outdated. Mold/mildew issues in kitchen and washer. Internet equipment was outdated and service would drop several times a day.

This two bedroom condo was everything we hoped it would be. The owner of the property, RIch, was open, honest, friendly, and competent and he provided us with everything one could possibly need. The condo was clean, well -stocked, and maintained in a most professional manner. The location, adjacent to Balboa Park, was ideal and was a wonderful base for walks throughout both Hillcrest and North Park. Rich was always accessible and a font of knowledge about San Diego and the region. I would very, very highly recommend this VRBO rental.

'Rich's place was in a perfect location for our purposes. There was plenty of room to work remotely in the second bedroom area. There is also an unusually large outdoor patio area.. Rich was accessible for check in and to help with any issues that came up. Thanks again for sharing your Balboa Park condo with us!

Our family has stayed in numerous vacation homes across the country and internationally. We absolutely loved Rich’s condo and stayed for almost two months! From the moment you walk in the door the open floor plan and glass doors to the large outdoor space gives you a real sense of a large home. The outdoor space is so unusual for a condo, running along the entire length of both sides with seating areas, dining area, lovely plants and an outdoor fireplace. Rich has decorated with attractive and comfortable furnishings from couch to dining area to porch to beds. There are several built-ins including a large corner desk in the second bedroom which worked well for our virtual working. Internet service and speed is fantastic as well. The building itself has a beautiful open inner courtyard just outside the front door. The nearby elevator and stairs make for easy access. The condo is very convenient; it is only a short distance from the zoo, Balboa Park, golfing, specialty shops and groceries. Rich has thought of everything to make your stay special. We arrived to fresh flowers and sparking beverages and a renters’ guide that can answer any questions. We highly recommend this lovely condo!

What a house and what a host! Well Rich is not only a host; he's tripadvisor, yelp and googlemaps in human form! He helped us during our 2 months stay with virtually everything from where to go and what to experience. The flat is amazing, right in the heart of San Diego, close to everywhere! If you plan to work during your stay, the flat has amazing Internet and even a printer/scanner! Bedrooms are spaceous and very comfy! Amazing patio for relaxing during your stay. I highly recommend this accomodation!

What can I add that others haven’t already shared? Rich & his place are absolutely fabulous! My husband & I were there for a month to find housing as we are relocating to San Diego. A sentiment my husband and I both shared every day was, “why can’t we just live here?” The patio is amazing, I could live just out there. Lush landscaping surrounds the place and is frequented by hummingbirds, songbirds, squirrels, a hawk & 2 tiny fledglings hopped right up beside me & into my lap. There are multiple outdoor areas surrounding the unit to enjoy in both shade and sun. The entire area is so peaceful and quiet. No noisy neighbors or loud planes overhead, just peace & quiet. The location is the absolute best. You are on the corner of a road that will get you anywhere in the area quickly and a dead end street that backs up to Balboa park. We loved hiking through the park and taking in the scenery, it seemed we were a world away. The location is directly centered between Northpark and Hillcrest so you are close to everything. Rich is an amazing host and has left no detail untouched. Everything you need to know is in the binder in the condo, but if by some crazy chance it’s not Rich is just a text or call away. The kitchen is one of the most adequately stocked we’ve ever used, better than my kitchen at home. We cooked multiple meals in it and didn’t lack a thing. On nights you’re too exhausted to cook there’s ton of fantastic restaurants close by or just have Postmates deliver it to the front of your condo door. The shower in the master is absolutely fantastic! Amazing water pressure and hot water. The jacuzzi tub was also excellent especially after a day of apartment hunting. The master bed is also a high point. I am a VERY picky sleeper and have a Tempurpedic at home. I usually don’t sleep in VRBO’S or hotels ever but this bed was perfect. My husband & I both slept like babies. There is a ton of closet space to put all your stuff away in as well. The hall shower is a brand new walk in and my husband says it’s fantastic too. While we didn’t sleep in the 2nd bedroom nightly I did take a nap or two in there and that bed is great as well. It was great to have in unit washer and dryers too. We needed certain outfits more & were happy to have a place to wash clothes. The building is very secure & assigned garage parking is a huge bonus. We found by staying here that this was the area we wanted to live in permanently. I can’t recommend Rich & his condo enough!
