We had an excellent experience. The owners were amazing. The place was neat and clean. The neighborhood was very nice and very close to a lot of action, that is , positive action. If we visit San Diego Again we will certainly search for this rental.again, We will certainly search for this rental.

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.

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.

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!

Our visit to San Diego was amazing. The unit we stayed in was just as pictures show. We were surprised by the patio space...perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Our 11 year old son enjoyed playing ping pong in the courtyard a couple nights.
We had an issue with the folks staying above us with two little kids. Crying all hours of the night and running from one end to the other, from the time we got back in the evening until late into the next night. Baby would drop bottle or toy onto floor (I’m guessing that’s what it was) over our bedroom, all night. The father would yell and it was chaos up there. This was a huge issue since we had early days. Getting a hold of someone while staying at the property was difficult. I sent several text and called both numbers I was given. I finally sent emails. Once Beth saw we had an issue she remedied the situation without hesitation.
The way Beth handled everything was top notch and we will definitely be back.
Another thing, our unit had not been cleaned so we had to leave for four hours after a long day of traveling so housekeepers could take care of this situation. An inconvenience but again, Beth took care of us and we could tell this is not normal for their properties.

We actually were moved to stay in the unit above this one (prior to arriving). The owners were very responsive and helpful. The apartment was clean and had nice, natural light. The inflatable sofa bed was a bit cumbersome to set up- we ended up leaving it set up in the living room the whole time instead of folding it back up and dealing with that every day. Our son enjoyed playing in the back yard area. The location was great for getting to Balboa park and walking around North Park. We didn't have an issue with parking or noise.

Stop looking. This is the place you want. I do a lot of VRBO around the country, and couldn't be more pleased. Clean & everything in working order.

Villa Barajas is situated in the lovely North Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is quiet with lots of young active families taking advantage of the proximity to Balboa Park. Within a couple blocks you can sit at an outdoor cafe for breakfast, get delicious tacos for lunch, and have a number of dinner and outdoor evening drinks options. Within a short drive you are at Trader Joe’s and Ralph’s for groceries. I was always able to park on the street in front of the property during the day. If I was coming in late, the property’s private alley parking was a life-saver.
Upon entering the unit, I was immediately filled with a sense that I was home. The attention to detail is something you only get from very caring and conscious homeowners. Every part of the home is well thought out to provide a stress free stay and perfect for a couple-month business stay or short vacation rental. There is high-speed wi-fi with redundancy, distilled water for the iron, and Meyer’s natural cleaning products just to give a few examples. The vintage stove, farmers sink, and colorful Italian glass in the kitchen transport you. The living space is not only decorated in a modern and very visually appealing aesthetic, but is also functional and comfortable (which is where many other vacation rentals fall short). The yard gets wonderful morning light for lounging and is private from the neighboring properties. Villa Barajas is truly a gem.

Whether you select this villa for a business or vacation stay, or a combination of both—for a week or a month or two—you will have made a great choice. You are minutes from the San Diego Airport and you arrive to a quiet, family, North Park neighborhood to an exquisitely executed villa with ample parking—no detail is too small and none are overlooked in this welcoming villa—from beautifully executed aesthetics, cleanliness, and creature comforts—this is a class act.
You will settle in immediately on arrival, put your head down on the pillow and feel like you are home—the bed is made to sleep in soundly. While here, I had a business meeting in LaJolla and spent several days at some of the beaches: Ocean, Pacific, LaJolla, and Imperial; and, explored the village communities of North Park, Little Italy, Hillcrest, South Park and Kensington. Though situated at the perimeter of Balboa Park and a stones throw from the San Diego Zoo, Museums, and Sea World, with the exception of the Gas Lamp Quarter, I deferred the tourist attractions for another time. For this visit, I felt and lived like a local—cute cafes for breakfast/brunch, authentic taco eateries for a quick lunch, mid-afternoon pick-me up with organic green juice, shopping at farmers’ markets, and any option you desire for dinner from $ to $$$ or a home-cooked meal.
This location and venue has it all—when you book it, you can look forward to a wonderful experience whether travelling solo or with friends or family.

We've stayed in a number of VRBO properties, and hotels in San Diego over the years. This one really worked for me. Will be back.
Loved the interior design and decoration. Great use of space, and extremely well equipped. Classy but not fussy or overdone.
The neighborhood is very pleasant, with stores, coffee and food within easy walking distance.

I was very impressed from the very beginning of our stay with how easy it was to check in, and with how clean the villa was. The entire villa is very up to date and my young daughter was able to explore without me worrying about her getting into something she wasn't supposed to. However I took away one star (more like half a star) because the tenants above us were incredible loud and you could hear every movement they made this woke my daughter and my husband and I several times at night. Obviously this was out of the owners control but just know that the building is not very well insulated and you can hear all other tenants in the building. Over all I was very pleased with my stay, and will be revisiting in the future. Also, my last comment is that the owners are very kind and worked with me through payment complications in a professional and nice manner.

The apartment is very comfortable and very close to the Balboa Park. We had a very good time there. The apartment is equiped very well even for those who want to cook. There are other apartments on the building and il may imply some noise.

First of all, Gail, Beth and Terry were very personable and accommodating. Was very comfortable and nicely appointed. It has all of the necessities when needs to have a comfortable stay. The quality of the unit was very high. It is obvious they spend freely for the units appointments. We are so pleased that we are renting from them again next winter.

We stayed for a few days in the condo. We had some issue with the water heater and it was fixed quickly. We lived the back patio. It was walking distance to many restuarants and coffee shops. We had a nice time.
