1 Bedroom Apartment in Mission Hills, San Diego

A unique private canyon retreat located in one of San Diego's most coveted historic neighborhoods of Mission Hills. Enjoy this peaceful studio, it's amazing outdoor space and stunning views over Mission Valley and beyond.
This studio is part of a historic home noted for its Spanish Renaissance architecture and designed by world famous architect William Templeton Johnson in 1922. Many of his other works can be found in San Diego, La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Coronado and Balboa Park. Widely regarded as one of San Diego's finest neighborhoods, Mission Hills features elegant homes along tree-lined streets, a thriving business district, and above all, a strong sense of community. Adjacent to the vibrant neighborhood of Hillcrest and perched above Old Town and Mission Valley, Mission Hills is located just a few miles northwest of downtown. With its lush landscaping and winding canyons, driving into Mission Hills is like entering an oasis. However, its central location and easy transportation access means you are just minutes from all that San Diego has to offer.
Mission Hills has come to be synonymous with some of San Diego's finest examples of historic architecture. Its first home, Villa Orizaba, was built in 1887 and subsequent subdivisions such as Avalon and Inspiration Heights were developed in the early 20th century. Now collectively known as Mission Hills, these homes were built in a variety of styles including Craftsman Bungalows, Prairie Homes, and Spanish and Mission Revival, just to name a few. Some of San Diego's finest architects worked in the area, such as William E. Hebbard and Richard Requa. The architectural diversity of the neighborhood is one of its finest features today.
This enchanting studio is accessed down a short flight of stairs to a lower part of the lush canyon which provides tranquility and privacy.

Summary: This guest house felt like a little slice of paradise—almost like being transported to Italy! It was beautifully designed, peaceful, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would love to stay here again the next time I’m in San Diego.
