As much as is necessary. We are available almost 24/7 before and during your stay but only if and when you need assistance. Otherwise the home is all yours. We also want to make this a unique experience and not just like a run of the mill hotel. We may text hello from time to time to ask how the stay is going. We may drop a gift for you or welcome present (like a dessert) to make your stay just a little bit sweeter. We are just a bit old fashioned when it comes to that kind of thing (customer service) and in a day and age where everything moves so fast and is so digital, we like to take a step back and slow things down a bit -- at least just enough to say hello in person, to shake your hand and thank you for choosing our home for your vacation needs.

This is the prime location in Old Town San Diego with nearby access to the world famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World, Coronado, and slightly more distant access to Legoland and Wild Animal Park.

San Diego's Old Town was the first European settlement on the West Coast and is known as the birthplace of California. The Historic Park encompasses 37 historic buildings. Three original adobe houses have been restored. The Casa de Machado y Silvas (aka "House of the Flag") is where the Mexican flag was hidden from American troops during the Mexican-American War.

Mission Hills is an affluent neighborhood overlooking Old Town, Downtown San Diego and San Diego Bay. The area was developed in the early 20th century with homes designed by San Diego's premier architects including William Hebbard and William Templeton Johnson. Most of the homes today are restored and carefully preserved. The famous horticulturalist Kate Sessions, founder of the renowned Mission Hills Nursery, influenced the development of Mission Hills.

Because we don't have parking, we usually suggest to our guests that they don't rent a car and try using Uber/Lyft/Public transportation instead. Our home is just 10 minutes away from San Diego Airport. $9-$12 ride with Uber.
Every other sightseeing or hot spot in San Diego is a short drive from the property, can't beat the convenience of this location. 10 minute car ride to downtown, beaches, Little Italy, Hillcrest, Sea World, Balboa Park or the Zoo. 10 minute walk to Historic Old Town where transit center offers the trolley, taxis, trains or buses.

This is Old Town. It's very residential and also very touristic. Most people love it.
If you are close-minded or looking for a "traditional American suburb" style, this will not be a good fit.

There might be some noise from the highway and the planes, but really and HONESTLY very light noise. You can hear it when standing outside in the garden. They become totally unnoticeable when inside the home.

Please note that we have certain minimum nights for certain times of the year - for holidays and peak season rental seasons we may require 5 nights minimum.

We are available to you for standard check-in times should you require any assistance from 4pm - 6pm … for after these hours we may be available for emergency only and only then via Airbnb message app.  We apologize if this causes any issues, but please consider this ahead of booking. Likewise, please advise us before traveling, on your estimated time of arrival so we can accommodate if possible.

• Please only book out place if you can check out by 11am the day of your departure.
• Housekeeping will be arriving at 11am to get the place ready for the next guest.
• Please do not ask to negotiate our prices as they are set on a daily basis and already take into account the fair market value of the home and its amenities.
