Cozy Guest Suite -Private 1 bd/1 bath
The most amazing, friendly, and gracious hosts! Ryan and Nicole made us feel so welcome—we felt right at home. The space was beautifully curated, which made it incredibly comfortable. There were plenty of amenities, such as a coffee machine with pods, a hairdryer, and an iron, along with a mini snack tray thoughtfully prepared by the hosts. There was plenty of street parking, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. 10/10! Honestly, the best hosts I’ve ever met—they’re amazing people!

Urban Canyon Getaway
David is exactly what the reviews said about his responsiveness. My family and I can say this was our best experience ever in San Diego. We felt at home and this experience made it easy for my wife and I to conclude that when traveling with our young kids, we would be better off reserving an airbnb with a great host like David. Thank you once again for your hospitality, David.

Gorgeous San Diego 1 Bed Studio with everything!
Cindy was very responsive, and the location was cute and cozy. Loved the place, and would recommend to others.

Skyline Terrace by the Sea (Pt. Loma, Ocean Beach)
Melissa’s place was super cute and a great place for my fiancé and I. Had all the amenities you would need and was in a quiet neighborhood with easy and accessible parking. It’s about a 1.5-2 mile hilly walk to the beach/Ocean Beach/restaurant area so I wouldn’t say it’s in a super walkable neighborhood but we had a rental car so it was easy for us to get around. Melissa’s guide book was amazing and we went to several of the recommended spots. This would be a great choice if you’re wanting to explore lots of areas of San Diego as it is centrally located and close proximity to highways.

Charming Suite in Historic Home
We had a wonderful stay! Greg and Leslie were so welcoming and kind and their home is beautiful and very enjoyable. Hope to be back again soon.

Hip Guest Suite in North Park
This was a convenient ten minute walk to our family members home, and offered a king bed, which we prefer. It had everything we needed , and was nicely decorated. It was private with easy access. There was a market, coffee shop and a few eateries nearby. Would stay here again!

Sunlit Studio Hideaway | Walk to Gaslamp & More
Michelle and Robyn’s place was such a wonderful place to stay and experience, my husband wanted me to note that he wishes we can give 5 billion stars for the bed alone, the entire place was well maintained clean and so comfortable. This place was very conveniently located near downtown San Diego, Coronado island, La Jolla coves, Petco Park, Balboa Park, little Italy and the marina. The home was quiet and very private with amenities that were useful. We were so pleased with our stay and would love to visit again, if you are unsure and reading reviews please take this as your sign to book here! :)

Hacienda de las Campanas (Bell Hacienda)
We loved staying at Wil’s place. The place was amazing, cozy and everything we wanted for our family. We loved the aesthetic, and the pool was so fun to play in. It was quiet but close to everything we wanted to do, so it was the perfect place to come back to after a long day out. The host and hostess were amazing, friendly and extremely helpful. We can’t wait to visit again.
Self-Contained Unit with a patio

Close proximity to Downtown, Gaslamp, Petco Park
Spacious, serene AND close to everything, including walkable streets and a freeway. Those might seem like contradictory qualities but Steve’s clean, comfy Golden Hill apartment achieves it all. With the bedroom in the back, light-blocking curtains, and beautiful yard, this place is quiet and peaceful. Lots of extras, like special treats, washer/dryer, and beach towels/chairs, good WiFi prepared us for everything. Kitchen is exceptionally well equipped (except for a dishwasher; a huge sink largely makes up for it). In the past couple years it feels like on-street parking has been getting harder to find in the evenings, but still manageable, especially with walking to restaurants, Uber’ing, public transit, and daytime outings when parking is easy. Steve is so helpful and responds with lightning speed. Looking forward to our next visit.

The Bay Ho Back-house
we loved staying here!

New & Lovely Guest House with Pool/Spa & Views!
We needed a place for 3 adults Sydnie’s place was so great from the first time I messaged Sydnie she helped me with local recommendation’s for restaurants/groceries/stores she sent me all the info I messed to make our stay wonderful. The house was everything that was shown. I would recommend anyone to stay here and will definitely will be back.

Cozy guest suite walking distance to Mission Bay
We loved this Airbnb! Upon arrival we were welcomed by our host, Grant. He helped us get into the unit and gave us a brief tour. We found the unit to be first class in every way - comfortable bed, quality linens, very clean, etc. There was a lot of attention to detail in this Airbnb. We were very pleased with this choice and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego.

Canyon-facing Studio with Private Entrance
Being in town for only one night, I unfortunately didn't have the time to fully experience Alessandra's place-in particular the outdoor spaces. My dog would've loved running around back there! As for the unit itself, it was clean and cozy and looked just like the photos. The surrounding neighborhood is very quiet and safe. I really appreciated the fact that Alessandra communicated all of the important details and was very responsive and friendly, yet not overbearing. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in SD!

*Adorable Luxury Suite! w/private entrance
Spotless clean!! Felt comfortable, relaxed, and secure. Thank you! 🙏🏼

**NEW** Casa de Palms - Gorgeous 1 BR Apartment.

Zencinitas2
This is wonderful, safe place to stay. Lots of shops are in walking distance and Uber is prompt and affordable. Mark& Tadea are very friendly were able to be contacted at all times. They checked in couple of times by SMS to see if I needed anything. They supplied extra coffee and bottled water. I highly recommend this place especially for solo travellers

Casita Pacifica: Charming 2p Apartment w/ Jacuzzi
Absolutely love love love this small yet mighty place!! I was impressed! It was so cute and clean! The shower was amazing! The bed was comfortable and the back yard was great for my dog. The hot tub was a great addition to the place. Nice way to chill out after a long day of adventuring! I love the washer and dryer! I felt right at home! Kevin and his spouse were the nicest ever! They are quick to respond. They are so accommodating. I had car problems and they recommended a great car shop for me in the neighborhood! I would definitely stay again and look forward to coming back to San Diego! Thank you sooo sooo much for your hospitality! You are an amazing host! Loved everything about it!

Great space! Comfortable, clean, and liked having access to the patio. Host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Lux Casita with Pickleball & Resort Amenities
It is hard to explain how beautiful this property is. It was so peaceful and private. The flowers were gorgeous. We loved the pool and played pickleball every day. The bed was super comfy and the living space was perfect. It was easy to find and Molly gave us all the info we needed to make our stay stress free. I will definitely be back!
