4.93 out of 5 average rating, 55 reviewsUrban Loft Oasis by Balboa Park
JuanRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Julia’s place was everything we hoped for and more—exactly as described and just as beautiful as the photos. We came to San Diego to run the Rock and Roll Marathon, and the location couldn’t have been more ideal. Being within walking distance to the start line made race day smooth and stress-free. The home itself was clean, stylish, and full of thoughtful touches. Our kids felt right at home the moment we arrived, and they especially loved the projector—it made movie nights feel just like being at the theater. Nestled in a lively neighborhood near Balboa Park and a great selection of restaurants, this stay truly made our marathon weekend unforgettable.

LeyaniRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Maria was such a great host. The house was perfect for a small friends trip and was in such a great part of the city. There was a grocery store right up the block if you wanted to eat in a bit more with a fully stocked kitchen to help. A beautiful office for those who had some leftover work to do through the weekend, and there was a great amount of space in both the bedrooms and bathrooms. The neighborhood was nice and quiet with no interruptions but still only a short drive from the downtown area. There was also great local spots right up the block as well if you wanted to walk around a bit more and explore Hillcrest. Overall it was one of the best airbnb experiences we had and Maria was very helpful and clear with every instruction and question. Thank you for the great stay!! It was a beautiful home and I’m glad we got to experience it!

The place was very nice, clean, and quiet. It's very close to the downtown and has many restaurants nearby. I liked the vibe of the neighborhood. Paul was very friendly, and his directions were very helpful.

Best airbnb experience! This was hands down the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, Darren and Ryan were absolutely lovely - so warm and welcoming. Also, they had the cutest dog ever, such a sweetheart and honestly made our stay even more memorable. The house itself was immaculate and had a cozy, inviting vibe. It was stocked with so many thoughtful amenities, things we didn’t even realize we’d need until we did! Darren really thought of everything, from comfy bathrobes to a beach drawer packed with all the essentials. It made our trip so much smoother. Parking was easy, and the instructions to access the place were clear and straightforward. Plus, the location was super convenient, right off the highway. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Well stocked, centrally located, and only a mile from the start of the San Diego marathon in Balboa Park, so was perfect for our stay for the race. Great spot and with a lovely little patio to sit outside too!

AlvinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Perfect stay in Hillcrest area, as mentioned it’s cozy and was perfect for one person, two people would maybe feel tight but manageable. Easy access to the 163 and parking on street wasn’t as scarce as I thought it would be. Nice to be in the neighborhood. Would stay here again, highly recommend

Michael was so helpful, friendly, and accommodating! He went above and beyond, helping us with our bags and making sure we had everything we needed and more for our stay! The place has a private entrance and beautiful outdoor seating area that allows you to come, go, and relax as you please. He has coffee, water, and snacks available and even asked us if we wanted to take anything for the road when we left. Everything was clean and comfortable -- the perfect home base for two people for the weekend. Would definitely stay here again!
