My family and I stayed at the Hillcrest Bungalow for 6 nights. Its a wonderfully decorated 2 bedroom bungalow, and very consistent with the description. It is in a quiet neighborhood that seemed convenient to many of the sights one would want to see in San Diego-- Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, old town San Diego, the Seaport Village and Mission Beach, among other things. It has a great kitchen, very up-to-date and a driveway so no worries as to parking. Because of its close proximity to downtown and to shopping and restaurants it could serve as a base to see many things in the San Diego area. The owner was also very responsive and answered all my questions about the area and the property. Instructions as to check in and check out were clear. I would definitely consider staying here again. There is a warning about neighbors being sensitive to noise so if you are likely to have a big crowd that might be something to consider. For us, it was not a problem and it was nice that the neighborhood was peaceful. Having not booked through VBRO regularly, I was not focused on the service fee for booking through the listings on the website. It seems a bit hefty to me, but I understand it also acts as some protection to the consumer. But it is something to keep in mind if you are on a budget. Also, this particular property, unlike some others I looked at on the website, has a no-refund policy, so if you think you're plans could change or if you do not want to pay the entire fee well in advance with no cancellation available, this aspect of this property would be something to pay attention to. Again, a terrific stay and very clean and beautiful place.
