Great location, even better property
My family had such a great experience staying here. The host was great, the house had everything we wanted, and we were so close to everything in San Diego. We will definitely look at staying here again next time we’re in San Diego.

San Diego Get Away
Really enjoyed our stay at Casa Urbana. The home was so clean and conveniently located to everything San Diego has to offer. We would definitely stay again. It was the perfect getaway for visiting our son who's stationed in the Navy. Thank You!

Beautiful Home Close to Everything
This is the perfect Vrbo. It has plenty of room, 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (water pressure is amazing), a beautiful kitchen with everything you need to make a delicious meal, a cozy living room with fireplace, and a giant TV. Tested the WiFi and it was always over 200mps. There is one space for parking and that was more than I could ask for. San Diego parking is a pain but knowing there was a space available made all the difference. The location is amazing. No more than 10 mins or less from Gaslamp, Convention Center, Balboa Park, Downtown, couldn't be any more convenient.
The host is amazing and always there to help make the stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Had a great time!

Clean and comfortable house!
We stayed 2 nights and the place was great. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms so nobody felt like they were cramped or on top of each other. The living room was comfy and open floor plan of the kitchen-dining-living room was nice. Beds were super comfortable! Nice linens and towels througout. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Fully furnished and with everything you'd need for a relaxing stay. Property manager was very responsive to messages. The only thing is the parking: there is one very short driveway spot so you pretty much have to park on the street if you have anything larger than a compact car. We always found parking around the front of the house or around the corner, easy walking distance. Overall, loved the place and would stay again. Super close to downtown too.
