The Urban Greenhouse was the perfect place to stay in San Diego! The house was inviting, warm, and had everything that we needed for our family of four while we visited the city. The proximity to Balboa Park, downtown, and the airport was important for our family when choosing a place to stay. We loved our time among all the plants!

Wonderful greenhouse!

We had an awesome and very comfortable stay here. We had four kids and all fit comfortably for a couple of days. I truly enjoyed that this felt like a lived-in home rather than just a "rental", so there was definitely a true feeling of hospitality. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was close to Balboa Park where we spent most of our time. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for a small family

Stayed here with our toddler and it was fantastic! Quiet location that was a quick drive to neighborhood restaurants and shops. We were never more than 20 minutes from any major San Diego attraction. The property itself is very well maintained and had more amenities than expected from the espresso machine to the air fryer as well as dishes and silverware for kids. There were even blackout shades in the bedrooms which made sleep easy for our toddler. Highly recommend for those with young ones!

If you find this available, stop looking for any other place!!

We stayed for 13 nights before departing. We’ve used various accommodation apps and stayed at many different places, but none were as comfortable and cozy as Tom’s house. This place is not just a great accommodation but a home that truly makes guests feel like they belong. Everything is thoughtfully prepared—chargers by the bed and in the living room, air purifiers in every room, and the air-cleansing plants throughout the house are an incredible touch. The large refrigerator and excellent barbecue grill are also fantastic features. Parking is convenient, and the check-in and check-out process is seamless. Tom is incredibly considerate. We sincerely wish his family endless happiness and good fortune. Goodbye, San Diego!

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.

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.
