"Balboa Bungalow" is a single-family dwelling comprised of two separate 1 BR/1 BA apartments. This listing is dedicated to the larger apartment rental option that we call “Balboa Bungalow I” (1 BR/1 BA). NOTE: We do not rent the other smaller apartment to guests. Since we live in Denver, CO we reserve the use of the small apartment as our own lodging when we are in San Diego visiting our family. PERFECT FOR ONE OR TWO PEOPLE As you step through the keyless entry gate, you'll immediately feel at home in this secure and private sanctuary. The interior boasts modern amenities and stylish furnishings that ensure a cozy and enjoyable stay. Sink into the comfortable queen-size bed in the bedroom, unwind in the living room while watching or streaming your favorite shows on the large flat screen 43" Smart TV, or catch up on laundry using the convenient washer and dryer. If you need to work staying connected won’t be a problem with the high-speed internet connection. During the warmer summer months, you'll be able to keep cool with the refreshing air conditioning. NOTE: This house includes a basic cable package. If you want to watch premium channels or services such as Netflix or Prime Video you will have to stream them on your mobile device. Quality linens, bedding and fluffy bath towels, hand towels and washcloths are provided for your use. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, glassware, flatware, pots & pans, coffee maker & Keurig maker, toaster, blender, and crock pot. Step outside to the charming patio, where you'll find comfortable seating to relax and soak up the California sunshine. Sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while enjoying this private outdoor space. Off-street parking for one vehicle is included with your booking. The entrance to our house is from the alley, not the street. This is not uncommon in San Diego but it might be surprising to guests from other parts of the country. You will receive clear instructions on how to find and access our property with your Check-in packet that will be emailed to you.

The rental was very clean and comfortable for the two of us. The keyless entry made coming & going extremely efficient and we felt safe with added security of the gate.

It is close to everything and we had no problems getting transportation to this location in ten minutes or less. We walked the neighborhoods and felt very safe and people were friendly . The host had great communication and we had everything we needed . We used the market nearby for groceries and we were also within walking distance of target about ten blocks away. This is a great quiet place to stay and if we stay in San Diego again we will happily stay here again. Thanks Rodgers Hosts. ##### James M.

Found a variety of offerings from a delicious Mexican bakery Thai food and great tacos all within a few blocks. Could not have been better. Ubers took us to the places that were further distance or on 26 street due to construction. Instructions were easy to follow, and had no difficulties at all. ##### Suzanne S.

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this rental. It was spacious, comfortable, well kept, clean and had the extras I was looking for (washer and dryer, parking spot). The owner, Valerie, gave me all the info I needed ahead of time but still made herself available if I had any questions. Good location; not downtown proper so it was peaceful, but still close to all the places I wanted to go (Balboa Park, Chicano Park/Barrio Logan, close to the 5 so easy to get around). I have family in San Diego and plan on staying at this rental when I visit again. I stayed by myself but it would be ideal for a couple’s getaway too. ##### Nicole H.

It was all very clean and you could see that the owners take a lot of care.

The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay in a beautiful neighborhood and is very well located for doing things around San Diego. For anybody that hasn't been in Golden Hill before, just keep in mind for the neighborhood that you are right under the approach to SAN and that walking to the main part of Balboa Park requires traversing a deep canyon. ##### Patrick N.

We did not rent a car ( though parking at Valerie's is included) and found buses, the Coaster and other public transport to be fun and easy.
