We've lived in this beautiful city all of our lives. We'll be glad to help point you in the right direction for the best places to go and activities to do so you can make the best of your stay!

University Heights is one of San Diego's most trendy and fun neighborhoods with tons of great local coffee shops, and restaurants.  Centrally located, this is one of the most desirable places to live for locals.

Not only are we cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces more carefully, but we have also extended the gap between every stay to be a minimum 24 hours as an added safety precaution during these times!

Please check out our other listings for additional availability and occupancy.

Please note that there are 2 master bedrooms + 1 extra bedroom, and 2.5 bathrooms, but both of the full baths (that have shower/tub) are located inside the two master bedrooms. The third bathroom, located outside of any bedrooms does have a toilet, but no bathtub or shower.
Please see our auto-reply that is sent to you immediately after you make a reservation as it will require a response within 24 hours.

By booking this property, you are acknowledging that you have read and will abide by the Good Neighbor Policy outlined below.

GENERAL
Standard check-in time is 4 PM and check-out is 10 AM. We thank you for not smoking and not bringing any pets onto the premises.

Please ensure that the total number of guests you specify in your booking is accurate, including all infants and babies of all ages, and let us know if that changes. We will only accommodate those guests specified and no more above and beyond that number, especially due to municipal codes regarding occupancy.

NOISE & GATHERINGS
Due to the residential nature of our neighborhood and out of respect for our neighbors in the same building, we have a strict policy against social gatherings or any other loud/disruptive activities, especially after 9pm. This also means no visitors (anyone not already accounted for in the booking and already staying here) at anytime.

Our property manager lives nearby and he’s had to ask guests to leave in the past for throwing parties.

OCCUPANCY
Please note the maximum occupancy and number of bedrooms specified in this listing. The maximum number of guests shall not exceed this number at all times.

STAYS LONGER THAN 30 NIGHTS
The booking site does not have a mechanism for recurring charges, but as a benefit to both us and the guest, we do require a recurring cleaning of the unit to be scheduled once every 2-3 weeks at an additional cost equal to the original cleaning fee each time, and this would include cleaning of towels and linens.

FURNISHINGS
Moving existing furniture out of the apartment or new furniture into it without consent of the host is strictly prohibited. Moving large furniture within the apartment from one room to another is also prohibited as our housekeeper may not be able to physically move it back once you depart.

PARKING
Parking details are specified in the Amenities section of this listing. If there is no reserved parking, please observe all posted parking restrictions when utilizing public parking.

TRASH & RECYCLING
Use blue bins for recycling, green bins for food waste, and black bins for everything else.

INFANTS & BABIES
The space is listed as child-friendly because we've gotten a lot of requests from families with infants who want to stay with us. We'd be happy to host those groups, but unfortunately, we do not have cribs or pack and plays or any bedding of that nature available for use, so please bear that in mind if it is a requirement for you.

OTHER
We strive to ensure that all of our guests have the best experience staying with us but we understand that accidents may happen. If, during your stay, anything accidentally breaks (e.g., a wine glass, photo frame, vase, etc.), please let us know right away so we can be sure to properly deep clean it after your departure. This is primarily for the safety of the next guest who will arrive after you and we generally won't charge you any amount of the security deposit for small items or decor, so please don't hesitate to let us know. We really appreciate it!

CITY REGULATIONS
The City noise limits pursuant to Municipal Code sections 59.5.0401 and 59.5.0501, and remedies available to the City to address and enforce violations, including the issuance of individual administrative citations in an amount up to $1,000 to each guest and to the host. Upon a failure to vacate by the expiration of the occupancy term, guests may be deemed trespassers and may be subject to removal by relevant authorities Pursuant to Chapter 5, Article 1, Division 10 of the Municipal Code, if the police are called to address public peace, health, safety, or general welfare issues, guests may be responsible for the cost of the police response.

Terrific location
A comfortable place. Management could have cleaned the windows and outside area as it was unusable due to dirt. Dryer filter was dangerously full. Kitchen was well appointed but had no cutting board A former review said the hot water was an issue but we had plenty of hot water for showering. The kitchen sink didn’t get hot water tho. Over all a very nice stay !! I would highly recommend I will definitely stay here next visit!

This was our first experience with vrbo and appreciated so much that because of that reason we were able to communicate with the agent directly. The location is close to Mission and Pacific beaches and no more than 15 minutes from entertainment, shopping and great restaurants. We would stay here again and recommend their service.

Me, my husband, my sister and her husband had a great stay. We loved that this property had 2 king sized beds, which is what sold me on the rental. Seems very rare to find that! The location was also great, convenient to so many things. The zoo was 7 mins away, and every beach was 15-20 mins away. We would stay again if we ever make it back to San Diego!

Great Location and Space
This property was perfect for our visit and close enough to the zoo for us to do a mid-day break with the kids and go back in the evening. We loved the proximity of coffee, ice cream, and restaurants so we were able to walk without loading everyone up into the car! The home was clean and well maintained. The only thing that would take this space up a notch is a little TLC on the patio outside of the bedroom. We would have loved to have somewhere to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather; and while there are chairs, it isn't somewhere you would want to sit - yet! This would be a great upgrade so folks can enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine outside. Overall, highly recommend staying here!

Great location!
Our stay was great! The neighborhood was walkable to lots of restaurants and shops and a quick drive to downtown. Perfect size for 3 of us to have our own bedroom and bath, and the host was very responsive to questions, usually answering within minutes. Place was clean and the check in and out were easy. Would definitely stay again!

Family vacation
Pros: easy access into property, clean, prompt response from owner Cons: property listing sleeps 6 with 2 showers. We are a family of five and the fourth and fifth person had to take lukewarm and cold showers. On our next day we made sure to take quick showers and still ended up with cold and lukewarm water by the fourth and fifth persons turn. Also, listing offered a potential discount to Frontline workers, and to inquire about this. When I did, I did not qualify because I booked outside a timeframe to receive this discount (within 60 days). I was told this is left purposely ambiguous as certain months and booking times will not qualify, and that is why you have to inquire. So, the advertisement that the frontline worker may qualify for a discount is always at the discretion of the renter, depending on the timeframe (booking time and month of booking). In essence, he’s grateful for Frontline workers when it is convenient for him, which is not how gratitude works in my opinion, and still wants credit for the offer.

From booking to departure, communication was outstanding. From comfortable beds and wonderful linens, to an updated living area, this property had everything we needed. For our needs, the space and location were perfect. Quick and easy access to many areas of San Diego, often without need of the highway, allowed us to spend time seeing and doing, not waiting in traffic.

Perfect Location
We thoroughly loved our stay in San Diego. The property was located in an area that made it easy to get around the city quickly and efficiently, and without gettin on the 5 very often. The description of the property accurately captured it. The beds were great, and so was the bedding. The couch was comfortable as well. Communication was great!
