Lovely home, well equipped and close to restaurants. Would note that it really only sleeps 4 people in bedrooms - the huge couch is big enough for 2, but not with any privacy.

Very clean , nice place to stay. Helpful, responsive host . The house is well stocked for guests. Nice area , within walking distance of balboa park and a short drive to the san diego harbor
What a treat to stay in a place with all the amenities of home and not have to rent a car! The house was clean, peaceful, and within walking distance of so many local treasures. Perfect for small families. We had an incredible trip and look forward to our next visit to San Diego!

This is in the amazing place to stay in San Diego. It has great owners and it's in the middle of Balboa Park. The scenery of just the house is incredible. Every major attraction is very close and even in walking distance!!!! If you ever go to San Diego California choose the Hillcrest it's a great place to make memories. Fully equipped with everything your family needs And more.....we loved it and will go back....
The ultimate home away from home with everything we could have needed. Clean, clean , clean with the perfect location for wonderful places to explore and eat. A lovely backyard veranda full of squirrels, birds and foliage. Comfy beds and a very well appointed kitchen. We really recommend this place.
Gina and Efrain were superb hosts, and welcomed us into their lovely home for a month. The house was perfect for our family. The location is ideal, the neighborhood safe, and the house was comfortable and inviting. We will definite return when we are back in San Diego. I would highly recommend as they are the best hosts.
We loved being able to walk to the Zoo and Balboa Park. The home was well laid out and perfect for our family. The outdoor deck and garden below made a very nice area to relax, and we enjoyed the spacious Kitchen, Dining area and Living room. The bathtub plug was missing, and it was a bit annoying to have to strip the beds before leaving, but overall we had a great stay and would recommend this place to others.
Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and comfortable, providing all listed amenities and many others. It was a quiet street despite being just a few blocks from balboa park. The host provided a booklet on the property as well as lists of things to do and places to eat. It’s very close to museums and the zoo, but also not a long drive to sea world and the beach. We felt at home coming back each night after our daily excursions to a comfy couch and large TVs for family movie nights. We’d definitely stay here again!
My wife and I stayed in Hillcrest Canyon Treehouse (late September 2024) and every aspect of it was great. A lovely property. Clean, comfortable, well furnished and equipped, and in an amazingly quiet neighborhood, despite being within a block of the northern border of beautiful Balboa Park. The kitchen was spacious and had everything you could want. The outdoor deck (including the retractable awning) was a wonderful place to have your meals. It was super quiet and dark in the bedroom, and the AC made for a nice cool sleeping environment. No doubt about it--whenever in the future we are in San Diego, this is where we will be staying,
It was perfect! Beautiful with lots of space inside and outside. Nice to be so close to Balboa park and nature trails. Loved sitting outside and relaxing.Easy communication with the host and super friendly. Thank you
Really enjoyed this location and stay.. beautiful home with gorgeous views. Close to downtown in a quiet neighborhood with no issues with street parking. Highly recommended.
Me and my friends stayed here for 2 nights and it was a really good place. Everything is clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was also calm and nice. We would come back again and definitely would recommend to anyone that wants a a nice to stay in San Diego!
Very lovely home situated in a nice neighborhood with spectacular rear canyon views! The listing photos exactly reflect each room. Very clean, well stocked with necessities and additional thoughtful items. The property does not lack anything! It is a wonderful home with a very responsive host. We will definitely be returning!!!
