Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Hillcrest, San Diego

Where do we even start? Stella made check-in feel like being welcomed home. She made sure we knew where everything was, directed us to her binder full of great local recommendations, and had even picked up a few grocery staples for us. Stella and her husband were more than accommodating and were very friendly. Stella made us want to come back to San Diego again soon! We loved our stay!

Place was beautiful and cozy, spacious for 6 people. Amazing location, very close to Little Italy and downtown. Stu was an excellent host. Would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay! Tim is a fantastic host who was easy to reach and was so responsive to everything we needed during our stay. Being greeted by a complimentary bottle of wine and a personal greeting card started the trip off with a warm and welcoming feel! The place is just how it looks in the photos, clean and spacious; the location is great, very walkable (also next door to an amazing taco truck and near the Hillcrest Farmers Market); and the backyard “oasis” was dreamy. Highly recommend this spot. Thanks Tim!

Exactly as the other reviewers have described, it is just a beautiful oasis in a perfect quiet neighborhood. Don’t wait, book now!

Very clean & comfortable home. The host is extremely nice and helpful. Great location, close to everything.

This home is perfect! Great walkability to amazing restaurants and bars. Great central location. Hosts are amazing. I would highly recommend.

Daniel's San Diego home was an absolute dream come true for our family of six! It far surpassed all our expectations and stands out as our best Airbnb experience to date. The amenities were simply amazing – the game room, movie theater, pool, and spa provided endless fun and relaxation for everyone. Daniel was also incredibly responsive whenever we had questions. We genuinely hope to stay here again on our next visit to San Diego!

Liz was absolutely amazing and very easy to communicate with. The house is in a beautiful location with tons of places to go explore nearby. There is a free parking spot included as well which was a big plus rather than trying to find parking every day. I really enjoyed my stay in this peaceful home. I have zero complaints!

We had everything we needed. We appreciated having the kitchenette. Parking was easy. The space was just right for two of us and we were able to relax each day after sightseeing. I enjoyed reading one of the books Anna had stocked in the room. Anna was easy to get a hold of and gave us recs for sites and restaurants.

This was our second time staying at Christopher's Airbnb! We love the University Heights neighborhood and this rental is in the perfect location - walkable to lots of coffee shops and restaurants! Although we did not have any issues, the renters were very responsive in communication. Will continue using this rental for future San Diego visits!

JP and Ana are responsive gracious hosts! Here for work travel and my place is exactly what I need. Close to north park, and quite at night to relax.

We had a great stay! The apartment was cozy, well-located, and very easy to find. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and the overall experience was smooth and comfortable. I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for hosting us!

Well appointed flat. Good instructions on how to find the place and the hosts answered promptly to a couple of queries . Good hot shower which was welcome after long days out and about. Good location and easy access to laundry was great for the 10 day stay we had. Only one recommendation is for maybe a new bed due to roll together ! But hey this is a great flat and good value .

I really enjoyed the stay. It's a great listing. It's very clean and spacious. I highly recommend it. I will keep it in mind when I visit San Diego next time.

Loved staying at Lauren’s place. Upon entry, the space leading up to the apts front door was tighter than we expected - it was one unit of a few in a tight backyard. That said, the inside looked exactly as photos, spotlessly clean, the location was great, and it felt private. Lauren was very responsive and friendly, sharing local restaurant recommendation if desired. I would stay here again as it gave us a quiet homebase to relax with easy access to great food as we explored San Diego.

This is hands down one of the best stays my husband and I have ever had! Not only was the place super easy to find, but it was well stocked, clean and comfortable. The host, Connie, was extremely kind and flexible with us when our check in was late. She made us feel right at home and the value of the stay far exceeds the price. I highly recommend their granny flat in La Mesa and hope I can come back again very soon!!

Our stay in San Diego was truly memorable, thanks in large part to this fantastic condo. Its central location made it easy to explore everything the city has to offer—SeaWorld, the zoo, museums, Liberty Station, and the beaches—all just a short drive away. One of the highlights for our two-year-old was watching planes take off and land nearby, which added an extra layer of excitement to our trip. The condo was one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in it truly made us feel at home. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again—thank you for a wonderful experience!

Amazing location and apartment! Lala was pretty helpful throughout the whole process as well and stayed awake late just to make sure I can get in

Amazing stay for me and my boyfriend! The location is central enough to everything we wanted to do and see here in sd. The space was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed! Instructions are listed clearly and communication with Nick was always quick n reliable! There’s some pretty significant construction out in front of the building, so street parking was a bit tricky since the parking space provided in the garage couldn’t accommodate our truck - but that was just a minor inconvenience for our ginormous rental lol.

Everything was like on the pictures! The airplanes were crazy! Great stay!

Overall, a good stay. The Airbnb accommodated my needs, and I did not need to make any additional requests. A walkable neighborhood with different convenient stores and coffee shops. Molly was good with communication.

The beds were comfortable and the accommodations were clean. We had everything we needed. The location was within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee houses. I would choose to stay there again.

We had an amazing stay at Nicklas’s place in San Diego! The condo is beautifully renovated and right on the waterfront—waking up to those ocean views was such a treat. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with everything we needed, making our stay super comfortable and convenient. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making the space feel like a true home away from home. We would absolutely love to stay here again in the future. Highly recommend!

"Amazing stay! Great location for anything you might want to do in the San Diego area. Junn was awesome! Highly recommend!"
