Sink into the velvet sofa and take in the city views stretching ahead – it's the kind of living room that makes you want to stay in. Step up to the sunny upper balcony and you're above the treetops with open sky in every direction, which is the perfect spot to start your day with coffee or end it with a cocktail. When you do venture out, the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge is a ten-minute drive, with Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo close by.

Home truths
While one of the bathrooms isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
There are ten stairs from the car park to the building entrance, then a further twelve stairs up to the apartment itself. If anyone in your group has mobility concerns or you're travelling with heavy luggage, it's worth planning ahead.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
You have one designated parking space, but the driveway can be tricky for low-clearance vehicles and street parking nearby is limited. If you're hiring a car, a compact or mid-size model will serve you better here.
The neighbourhood has a strict noise ordinance – quiet hours run from 9pm to 8am, and any amplified sound audible outside the home is prohibited at any time of day. This works well for quieter groups, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're planning a lively gathering.

Just north of San Diego’s buzzy Downtown, this is the centre of the county’s LGBT+ scene, known for bustling gay bars and the city's annual Pride parade. University Avenue is fringed with restaurants serving global cuisine, and the weekly Hillcrest Farmers Market...
