"Very nice house on a nice street. Only 15 minutes from airport. Close to everything in Hillcrest and near Balboa Park. Close to highway but not a lot of road noise since bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house."

Casa Paloma: Classic Mission Hills + Enchanting Courtyard Close to EVERYTHING
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (113)
"We stayed at this lovely home for almost two months to escape the desert heat and it was a perfect place to do that! This is a charming, well-maintained older home in a very quiet neighborhood. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is stocked to cook. The owners live right behind the house so help is readily at hand if needed (but we never needed it). It is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The wrap-around patio is beautiful and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy...

Upscale Urban Retreat near the Heart of Hillcrest!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (33)
"We picked this home to be our sanctuary during Comic Con. It was well-appointed, super clean and cute, and in a great location. We appreciated the off-street parking for two smaller SUVs, and the central AC was greatly appreciated. Comfy beds, soft towels, and a great living area to unwind in. Quiet neighborhood. House had lots of amenities that we didn’t use but it was cool to see them: beach towels, baby items and gates. The stairs are steep - not a problem for adults. We really liked staying...

"Good location for getting all around town. Property was just as shown in the listing and worked well for the two of us. As others have said there is some traffic noise on the street in front but by closing the bedroom door and putting the provided sound machine on it really helped to minimize. Would stay here again"
