Perfect location
This home was perfectly located near the places we were visiting in San Diego. Our children enjoyed the comfy feeling of being at home. My daughter said she liked that the lights were on when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. There were only two beds so my oldest did need to sleep on the very nice couch in the living room. We enjoyed the shower the most. Everything in the house was beautifully decorated. We would stay here again if we travel to So Cal in the future.

Great stay at Urban Greenhouse
We had an excellent stay at the Urban Greenhouse. The house was cozy and clean and the plants created a unique and tranquil atmosphere. We appreciated how dog-friendly the property is and enjoyed the nice and walkable neighborhood, close to lots of food options and attractions. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. We would highly recommend this place and hope to stay again in the future.

Absolutely could not have been happier
This unit was incredible....it was comfortable and clean. The location was great, we loved spending time in North Park, what a fun and vibrant little neighborhood. No shortage of great restaurants and only a few minutes from attrcations like Sea World and the Zoo. The house itself was lovely, small but perfectly comfortable. It was very clear that the owner has put a lot of thought into making sure that every need is addressed. In particular, the beds were auper confortable, the bedding and linens were high quality and I particularly appreciated the Breville espresso machine. We were truly sorry to check out and wished we had stayed here our entire visit.

Cozy Urban Greenhouse
This is the best place we have stayed in, by far! The house is extremely cozy with all the plants. It definitely felt like a home away from home. The neighborhood is very cute and quiet as well, and easy to get to pretty much anywhere. Tom was very accommodating, for both us humans and our dogs. Everything about our stay was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in San Diego.

A little oasis
Travelled with the family to enjoy a couple of days in San Diego. Such a charming little home. We absolutely loved the beauty and tranquility that the home offered. Lots of care and love into all the little details. Very well stocked home. The space was perfect for us. Just enough space to spread out when needed but cozy enough for family bonding. Super dog friendly too which my dog loved. The location of the home was perfect. Just a short drive to Balboa Park and close to shops and restaurants. A nice quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend! Communication was excellent as well.

Fabulous cozy comfy house
Very comfortable and inviting house. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. If you need to get some work done the desk setup is a plus. The neighborhood is quiet and several very good restaurants are nearby. Host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We will book this house again when returning to San Diego.

What a gem
The place was clean, super well appointed. Definitely in the top three all time. Everything was thought through, and the owner was very relaxed. With an instruction of “clean as you see fit, well take care of the rest”. Very happy, will definitely suggest.

Beautiful, clean, quiet
We had a wonderful stay at Tom’s Urban Greenhouse while we explored San Diego. The house is beautiful and clean, and just enough space for our family. We didn’t cook (too many great restaurants to explore), but the kitchen had everything you would need. We enjoyed sipping cappuccino each morning on the deck as we listened to the fountain. Check in was easy and Tom was responsive to our questions. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, with a few cafes and shops in walking distance and many more just a short drive away.

Fantastic property!
I stayed here with my sister and adult nephew. The house is immaculate and cozy. Everything you could think of is provided, with chargers in every room, an espresso machine and incredibly comfortable furniture. The plants are spectacular! We will definitely be back.
