This is a very special upstairs in-law apartment on a quiet street in the wonderful neighborhood of South Park. The home is full of light and beautifully decorated with West Elm and Mid-Century Modern vintage furniture.

The home is meticulously maintained. The unit is for non-smokers and does not host pets. For your comfort, all cleaning products are as fragrance free and as allergy free as possible. Luxury bedding, air conditioning, high-speed internet (both bard-wired and WiFi) and 32 inch HDTV with premium cable are included. The sofa turns into a comfortable twin bed (not a futon or pull out couch) so this home can comfortably accommodate up to 3 guests (4 if the children are little). The charming kitchen has the perfect `Gramma` style Formica table and all the cooking supplies you will need. The host owner has set this home up the way she prefers it when she travels and, as a result, the unit comes with all the comforts of a home only better.

As little or as much as you prefer... The host, Luci lives in the home in the front which is just steps from the guest house but a completely separate structure and she loves hosting and caring for her guests so please do not hesitate to reach out for support or advice! Check-in is virtual, as you`ll be provided with a digital Guest Portal and a personalized door code. Vacation Rentals by Aaron is a full-service property management company, and will be available 24-7 in case you need anything during your stay.

The hip, historic neighborhood of South Park in San Diego has `small town charm in the heart of the city.` No chain stores or restaurants (except for a 7/11). Wide tree-lined streets with Victorian to Spanish homes, fabulous restaurants, yoga and fitness centers, salons, coffee shops, friendly nightlife, great shopping, full grocery store, organic and gourmet market. All of these and more are within 2 to 6 small blocks of the house!

Things to do in the neighborhood... take a nice walk or bike ride, explore boutiques, get a massage, do some yoga, have a casual or gourmet dinner, bring your guitar for open mic night or catch a band at Rebecca`s Coffee Shop, or play a little pool and dance at the Whistle Stop. Enjoy a hand crafted beer, a wine flight or visit during the four yearly Walkabout events and meet all the friendly locals, snack, listen to music and visit the shops in the evening. Check out (URL HIDDEN) to learn more about South Park.

The home is close to everything. Two blocks to Bus 2 heading downtown to the Gaslamp, trolley, train station, and Convention Center. Across a canyon to Balboa Park or the Zoo. 10 minutes from the airport and 8 minutes to Coronado Island and the most beautiful beaches for walking, swimming and catching some waves (ask the owner about the short cut and parking secrets as she is an avid beach-goer and boogie-boarder). There is a gorgeous and reasonable Municipal Golf Course just around the corner. For transportation there is both Car2go area and several options to rent bikes close by. Finally, your culinary needs will be satisfied by several nearby farmers markets to stock up on fresh, local foods.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month`s rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals

    This is such a cute property! Everything is so comfortable and makes for a perfect stay. Love the neighborhood... quiet and safe and great for walking around with lots of cafes, restaurants and quaint shops. It's also so easy to get anywhere in San Diego from this location. The host is wonderful and very helpful. We highly recommend staying here if you're in San Diego!

    Luci was lovely, the neighbourhood very walkable and with many handy conveniences such as food trucks, coffee shop and liquor store. The highlight was Luci’s beautiful lemon tree and having daily refreshing lemon drinks. The only thing I can think of as a bonus would be to have a little area to sit outside for coffee and happy hour.

    Apartment was exactly as advertised, but nicer. I have traveled around the country and when I say this was the most clean, neatest place I've stayed. Quiet, in nice neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants, laundry mat, wine store, etc. Any dish or pan you will every need, you can find in the kitchen. I will say again, the place is spotless. Extra linen, covers is availabile. Believe I may have said hi to the owner, who I found lives next door. Short distance from downtown, zoo, sea world and Navy Base. Will book again for sure. Thank you, to the owners!!

    I had a wonderful stay here! Luci is a wonderful host, super accommodating and friendly and has lived in the neighborhood for decades. I appreciated the local recommendations in the guest book! The location really can't be beat, it's extremely walkable to tons of great food and shopping options, Balboa Park, etc. The apartment is spacious, clean, and retains its original charm while everything has been updated and well maintained. It was also much bigger than I had anticipated, I think two or three people could stay very comfortably here. I'm looking forward to future stays here!

    We loved our stay in South Park. The apartment was perfect for the two of us, and the neighborhood had restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. Luci was a wonderful host and very attentive. I highly recommend it and would stay here again.

    Thank you Lucy for this stay. Overall great place with some minor hiccups. The neighborhood is quiet and Lucy was quite communicative to welcome us as well as providing information about the television and internet that has just been hooked up. Her agent Aaron sent us info about groceries that could be delivered prior to our stay. You have to do it within 24 hrs though. That's a fun fact. There is a full kitchen at this home with everything you need to cook. Salt, pepper, some vinegar, oil, coffee left by previous renters was there. Lots of opportunity to eat at the many restaurants and food trucks in the area. A small Target and 7-11 is one block down the street. Everything convenient. This home is old but charming. I grew up in a home that would squeak every time you walk. This one did too. The shower has powerful. Just watch how you turn on the hot water.....it's scorching HOT! Air conditioning was great however I'm not sure if the thermostat is correct. 77 degrees felt like 65. Lucy had the television fixed the next day as she had checked on it after being serviced. The bed was quite uncomfortable. Both my partner and I woke up daily stiff and with sore backs. Not ever getting a full rest. The biggest downside to the stay. The shades are a great feature as the street lights shine in your eyes at night. I was sent a checkout list and when we were departing.. Not sure if the cleaning fee includes throwing away the rubbish and recycling? Thank you for this stay

    Walking distance to several places we went and perfect neighborhood for a stroll. We loved our stay at this guesthouse and it was the perfect lodging for out multiple day stay. We have never experienced such a stocked kitchen amongst all our vacation rentals- including abroad! The neighborhood is so quiet as well. Water pressure is the shower is amazing. Although there is wifi, the internet was out while we were there. No biggie for us.

    Accommodating management team and owner with strong communication skills. Any questions were answered immediately. Perfect location for everything San Diego related. Within walking distance of convenience and retail stores as well as trendy and unique bars and restaurants. People with cars have great access to street parking. Driving or Uber to downtown or other spots in San Diego is 15 minutes or less. Quiet, private 1 bedroom built in 1910 still has charm and peace of yesteryear and can be a great spot to kick back and relax if you're not out and about at Balboa Park or other amazing attractions in San Diego.
