About this property

Villa Barajas - Spacious, Modern Suite near Park, Zoo, Beaches

A home away from home, warm and wonderful in North Park, #13 on Forbes' list of the 'hippest' neighborhoods in the US. The feeling and ambiance of 1926 historic Spanish 'Villa Barajas' is both warm and modern.

The Bungalow Suite (#3317) is a large one bedroom, 1 bath, which sleeps 4 using the comfortable pull-out sofa in the large living room. Newly renovated with high quality finishes and cheerful eclectic style -- Mid century meets Deco meets vintage and reclaimed. Sunny, colorful, and casually elegant.

Beautiful original hardwood floors and large wood windows, cafe style eat-in kitchen, restored vintage stove with griddle, top line appliances, washer and dryer in suite, central heat/AC, deep Euro tub/shower in large, Deco style bathroom. Small private patio with bistro dining for two outside front door. New furnishings and backyard with grill, dining, ping pong table and lounge chairs.

We also provide amenities -- K-cup and French press coffee makers, beach towels, blow dryer, iron/ironing board, luggage rack, books and games, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, hand soaps, other essentials. WIFI and smart TV -- Stream your Netflix and Pandora while you relax or enjoy a light meal in the suite.

We have a 500 mbps WIFI network in the unit -- nice and fast -- and 4 other networks in the building, all of which are accessible to all guests, so it's pretty much bullet proof service if your unit's network happens to go down.

Spacious grounds with gas grill, ping pong table and delightful seating areas. Walk a few blocks to Balboa Park, restaurants, cafes, golf, community pool, tennis, recreation. 5 minutes to downtown -- Little Italy, The GasLamp Quarter, Seaport Village, Convention Center, the famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and museums, Old Globe Theatre. 10 min to beaches and other major attractions, including Coronado Island and Seaworld.

Please note: Service dogs must be declared prior to booking, allowing owners to request and review documentation. Dates will not be held/reserved during processing. Our jurisdiction does not require that we accommodate emotional support animals at our temporary lodging property. No animal may be on property at any time, without owners’ prior acceptance.

A fe w problems this time unlike prior stays
We were disappointed this time. The cleaning was haphazard...streaks on glass table and mirror. One light out over bathroom sink. Bed is getting saggy. Dryer filter was filthy and a fire hazard. The bathroom vanity is nicked and chipped. The towels need a good bleaching.Upstairs neighbors were very noisy. We come to San Diego at least once yearly and would like to return to a unit with no upstairs neighbors and would appreciate your advice as to which unit that would be.

Perfect Getaway
Clean, modern and comfortable, this place was a perfect spot to stay to visit lots of great sights in San Diego while being able to get away from the craziness whenever we wanted. Very responsive to questions.

A Perfect Fit for our Stay!
Everything as promised. Location so convenient! Walk to restaurants including a wonderful smoker/BBQ just 3 blocks away. Short drive to Balboa Park and the Zoo and access to highways to all other attractions was simple. There was always a parking space at the rear and shared outdoor space was rarely in use by others. The apartment was roomy, bright and cheery with hardwood floors, fresh paint all around and modern remodeled kitchen and bath. The pullout sofa was equipped with a good quality inflatable mattress and there was ample room including closet space for our 2 weekend visitors. Our 3 week stay couldn't have been more comfortable!

About the host

We love homes, vacations, people, and customer service. Making people happy in beautiful environments is our 'thing.'

Why they chose this property

When we saw this building, with its old world charm and quaint sophistication- we knew that we had to own it, renovate it- and then provide fabulous, beautiful, comfortable and 'cool' accommodations where people could relax, enjoy the Park, the Zoo, the many restaurants- all within the context of a local San Diego Urban Walkable neighborhood experience. AND WE ARE 5 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN AND 10 MINUTES FROM FABULOUS BEACHES!

What makes this property unique

This building is thought to have been owned a century ago by a nearby historic church and resided in by church members or out of town visitors. It is a beautiful building and stands out as regal, yet simple. This combination of simplicity and beauty attracted us. Additionally, we were inspired by a European vacation where we found quaint older buildings renovated with a mix of Asian, modern and European touches that made our vacation more enjoyable. We wished to pass these feelings on to others.
