This place was chosen because it was close to my mom's care facility. It was pretty quiet for being so near to a university. We walked to Giovanni's for dinner and would have walked to Old Town if it hadn't been so humid. It IS very close to most of San Diego's major tourist attractions. The trolley/light rail station is close enough that a car is optional.Not a place to hang out at but a great alternative to a hotel or resort.

The Hideaway was perfect for what we needed and close to Sea World and Old Town. The house was clean and easy to access, super cute too! My toddler loved the slide in the backyard and the outside table was great for her messy eating. The only things we would change, if it was up to us would be to have a larger couch, it seats 2 and the bed is noisy when anyone moves an inch. We would definitely stay again when visiting SD!

Nice place, excellent area!

Jimmy’s stay was perfect for my friend and I’s quick girls trip to SD! He was very communicative and even accommodated an early luggage drop off for us since our flight arrived in the morning.The property was conveniently located and a quick 10-20 min drive to most places around the city. As two girls traveling alone, we also felt very safe and comfortable.The space was more than enough for the two of us (we were mainly there to just sleep and get ready), though it might be a tighter squeeze for a family. We definitely appreciated the booklet of clear check in and check out instructions and recommendations around the area!A couple things that would have been nice were a coffee table in front of the couch and shelving in the shower so we didn’t have to leave our toiletries on the floor.Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend and stay again! Thank you!!
