Great location, nicely updated, smaller, but had all the amenities necessary for our family. I loved the little table on the balcony to have coffee in the morning and take advantage of the sea . Super close to Balboa Park. And everything you wanna see in San Diego. The property manager was very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay.

This VRBO was an excellent find! It is very close to the SD Zoo and Balboa Park, and it was an easy drive to many SD beaches, La Jolla, LIttle Italy - really anywhere you might want to visit in SD. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen was clean and stocked sufficiently; and the living room area was comfortable. There's also a dedicated parking space, which was an added bonus!! We had a few questions for the host, and we received replies nearly instantly. It was very easy to communicate. Stellar VRBO all around.

Perfect Stay Near Balboa Park!

We had a wonderful stay at the Beautiful Hillcrest Canyon View property! The location was perfect — walking distance to Balboa Park and close to the San Diego Zoo, which made it very convenient for our trip. The property was extremely clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The check-in process was smooth and easy, with clear instructions provided ahead of time.

Great location

My family had a great time visiting the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park which was so close to this home. We could easily take a zoo break and eat lunch at home, picking up food from a selection of so many nearby restaurants. Grocery shopping was also easy with several local choices within 10 minutes. Host was quick to respond to questions and provided helpful snacks and drinks for when we didn’t have time the first night to shop yet.

Clean property, great location for Balboa Park/Zoo, super convenient parking, easy check in, safe and quiet neighborhood with lots of restaurant options. Some furniture swapped out from the listing photos.. hosts are free to do that and I think there is even a disclaimer about it so that isn’t a complaint, just awareness. Host was very attentive!

Beautiful little apartment in a gem of a location

My friend and I had a wonderful time staying at the “Canyon View” Vrbo. Efran was a good host and took care of any needs that came, there weren’t many fortunately. The place was cozy, clean, had stackable washer and dryer, and all the amenities. What was real nice was that the rental was a two bedroom separated by the bathroom. Hillcrrst still has its charm that’s for sure. We will definitely be back.
