About this property
Spectacular views of the Presidio, USD & fireworks
This is a recently constructed unit (2014) built over a garage in a very central neighborhood of San Diego and is minutes away from most of San Diego's major attraction. A highlight is the roof top deck used for brunches and fireworks views
The home is part of three units on the property. The previous garage was removed and rebuilt with unit on the top. The other two units are also rented out to Airbnb guests.
The space is made up of a flexible floor plan that can see the family room turned into a separate bedroom via an opaque sliding glass door.
What makes this property unique is it's recent construction and roof top deck with impressive views of The Presidio of San Diego - a historic fort established in 1769 by Gaspar de Portola, leader of the first European land exploration of Alta California. It was the first permanent European settlement on the Pacific Coast of the United States.
During summers, the view of the Sea World fireworks show is unbeatable!
The space is made up of two bedrooms (one with a king sized bed and the other with a queen sized bed) and a third room that acts as both a family / TV room but can double as a bedroom. The couch is no longer a sleeper, however we now provide a larger queen sized air mattress for this room.
Guess access is controlled by an electronic lock that uses a pin number that is provided to the guess upon arrival. Guests will have access to the roof top deck and backyard bbq'ing area.
The host can be an interactive as the guests desire. Upon arrival, the if the host is available he generally will try to meet the guests to welcome them. From time to time he is unable to meet them and when this occurs the guests are free to enter the house immediately up on arrival.
The little known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego is called Silver Terrace. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.
Morena Vista Trolley stop is located within a 5-minute walk from the house. From there, it's possible to go to Little Italy, the Gaslamp District, Fashion Valley, Qualcomm Stadium, and even further east out to SDSU.
For longer term stays that require the use of laundry services, the host will provide the washer and dryer free of charge.

This condo was clean, had more than enough linens & pillows and was in great location very close to everything. We would stay here again if we come back to San Diego
This property was the perfect location for our son’s college move-in—thank you for making it a comfortable stay. I also really appreciated having access to the laundry room—it was a big help.
Great host, very responsive. The location was perfect for our visit. If ever in the area again i would definitely try to get the property for our lodging.
This place was perfect for our family of four adults and a baby. It was close to the zoo, balboa Park, beaches and lots of restaurants. The beds were very comfortable and a travel crib and high chair were provided.
The house was basic but worked for us, the location was perfect so close to everything and where we needed to be everyday! The house cleaner was such a wonderful person, and the neighbors were amazing as well.
The location was great! the property was clean and well maintained. We appreciated the notebook describing the area, host favorites, etc. Great experience overall!
We decided to rent Jimmy’s rental for a little anniversary getaway. The place was great, very clean and cozy. It felt like coming home. It was also very close to the San Diego Zoo which was great. I would recommend this little apartment to my family and friends.
This is such a great place to stay Out of all the places we have stayed this was our favorite . We all loved the roof tops views. The property was clean and had all the amenities needed. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to get to. I contacted the owner and he was quick to answer my question. Would stay again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in San Diego.
The rental was quiet and seemed to be in a safe neighborhood. Outdoor seating was a plus. Never had any issues with parking or the shared laundry area. Owner quickly responsive to any communication.
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this location.We appreciate the quiet neighborhood and convenient location. The unit is a good size for us and having a kitchen is a plus. The manager is communicative and attentive.
No problems with the rental. Quiet neighborhood. Everything worked and the beds were comfortable. I would recommend this property to others. San Diego is a great city!
This was a lovely property. It was quiet and very close to USD as we were checking our daughter in. The rooms were comfortable and the balcony and rooftop were great places for drinking coffee in the morning and sipping a drink at night. Washer and dryer were great to have as well. Parking was easy and the location couldn't be better. Will stay here again!
This is the upper unit at the location. Nice 2 bedroom with little LR and good kitchen space. Some concerns upon checking in yet the owner was very quick to respond and address all of my concerns which was appreciated.Location fit my needs. Appreciated the off street parking for one vehicle.Thank you.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
When we arrived the AC was not working. Thankfully we were gone during most of the day and able to open the windows in the evening to cool the apartment down. As for cleanliness, it was ok definitely not great. The walls and baseboards were pretty dirty, definitely need a little tlc. The comforters should be updated and replaced and there are some stains on them but the sheets and bedding were clean. The original listing showed the sofa to be a pull out but it was not. They instead had an air mattress to use but we did not use it. We liked that the living room had a room divider, creating a third bedroom. The shower had great water pressure which was very nice. We didn’t use the kitchen appliances to rate those. Our host was very responsive to any communication needs and did get the AC fixed . The apartment was in a good location for our needs and had onsite parking which was nice. Overall it was a good stay.
Nice house in a good location. Quiet neighborhood. But don't plan on doing much cooking as the kitchen is very minimally stocked. There are only 4 chairs for a unit that sleeps 6 and barely enough dishes (plan on washing them after every meal). They could also use some scissors, a cheese grater, a baking sheet or casserole dish or some way to cook things in the oven and something for storing leftovers.
Stay was fine, but we had six adults and there were only three bath towels. We requested more towels and the property manager responded with more towels the next day, but it was after noon. Bed pillows were pretty flat. Other than that, it was very quiet location and easily accessible to the freeway and sights, etc… A good stay.
We loved staying here. We were able to check in a little early. When we checked in though, there were a few things that weren’t clean, but were easy enough to clean on our own though. I don’t know if it was because we rushed the cleaners or if they just forgot those few things. Jimmy, the owner, was excellent to communicate with us. The only real problem was the pull out sofa. It was very small and not very comfortable or clean. But we just went to Target and grabbed an air bed. Just make sure to lock up when you leave. Thanks so much for a great stay!
