Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego

Kaitlin’s Airbnb was a great place to stay! It was in a great location close to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. It was perfect for my family of 4 and was clean and comfortable for all of us. Kaitlin was super communicative and responsive throughout our visit. I would highly recommend and will absolutely come back for any future stays in San Diego.

Amir was so accommodating from the beginning to my situation as I needed an additional place to stay from my work trip. His place was very lovely and in one of my favorite parts of SD. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better host.

This was an absolutely unforgettable place. Anthony and his wife, Shannon, were perfect hosts. They left a binder with plenty of great recommendations of places around the area to check out, and on our first night when we were out shopping for groceries, they were more than happy to provide some essentials (cooking oil, spices, etc.)! The place itself feels so cozy and was an excellent little getaway. I ended up proposing to my girlfriend (now fiancée) here, and Anthony and Shannon left us so gorgeous flowers and a note as a congratulations. I really can’t speak higher of this place. It’s so welcoming and you really can’t find nicer, more respectful hosts. TLDR: easily the best stay in San Diego! You’re going to love it!

JD was an exceptional host. Our stay was enhanced by the fact that he had thought of all the little details. He was able to accommodate an early check in, everything was well labeled and clear throughout the home, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Each bathroom had a hairdryer, which was amazing for our party of five. We were able to easily walk to Petco Park and all the great restaurants in the Gaslamp District and beyond. Would totally stay again!

I for sure am going to stay here the next time I’m in San Diego, I had such an amazing time staying here! Jing is so responsive and kind and made my first time here in San Diego a truly magical and memorable time!

My stay here was exactly how I wanted it to be. The home was very clean and had a lot of necessities like cookware, silverware, shower products, and so much more! Everything was super neat and organized. The bed was extremely comfy. The host was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed, also made sure all our questions were answered. I am looking forward to staying here again when I return to San Diego. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is thinking about staying here. You definitely get your moneys worth.

Wonderful place to stay!! Check in instructions were incredibly clear, and the hosts very helpful and responsive to any questions I had. The pictures are a great representation of the place; very cozy, light filled, clean, and comfortable. I really enjoyed being within a short walking distance to Petco Park while still being able to explore some of the neighborhoods in San Diego easily. I would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you!

I had a lovely stay with Dina. I am moving to the SD area and Dina made my transition so much easier. There were some minor issues at the beginning that were quickly addressed and resolved. Dina and Jose made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay and I am happy with the hosts, they went above and beyond. I also paid a pet deposit that was fully refunded as my animals are well trained!

Mayra's place is a strategically situated apartment. it's walking distance to the Convention Center and surrounded by everything (restaurants, cafes, shops, minimarkets). The apartment is huge and fit to 6 persons, although we were only 4 persons. The building is steps free, the apartment is on the 4th floor and the elevator works well, which is very important for me because I have problem with my ankle due to surgery. The apartment is also including free car parking which is not far from the building (maybe only 1 or 2 blocks from the building). Mayra is a nice and friendly host. She explained all the details and very easy to understand. I will definitely comeback to her apartment if I visit San Diego again in the future.

We had the best time, the apartment was better than the photos we thought. The location was ideal with short walks to coffee and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again

JB and Ana were great hosts and were wonderfully accommodating. This was a great private room in a very convenient location. I was definitely satisfied with my experience, especially the ease of check-in/out.

Great host, everything in terms of shops and restaurants are nearby and I would definitely stay here again!

Staying at wade’s was amazing. I felt comfortable in the neighborhood and in the retreat as well! Quiet and peaceful, bed was so comfortable I slept like a rock. Would highly recommend staying at Wade’s retreats!

We do not have enough words to describe our appreciation for our host Kay & how lovely our trip to this city was. Kay’s place was perfectly located for exploring & perfectly accommodating for 2 people. We want to gate keep this place for ourselves because of how wonderful the experience was but Kay deserves the recognition for being the most reliable & stellar host. Hands down a great experience in every way possible

I highly recommend Jessica’s place. It was clean, well stocked with everything one would need for a lengthy stay, and nicer and bigger than the photos. Great view of downtown, little Italy and the water from the huge patio that had ample seating. Jessica was a very friendly, responsive and accommodating host. The elevator has access directly into the suite which made going in and out very convenient. The area felt very safe and there are many restaurants and cafes nearby. While it was close to the airport and had airplanes flying by, the noise was minimal and not at all a problem at night. My only suggestion for guests is to bring sleep masks if you plan on sleeping on the bunk beds as that area does not have dark/black out blinds and is bright in the morning. All in all a great stay and would come back in a heartbeat.

Amazing location and walkable to many good restaurants and local attractions. It was a bit noisy due to the location however earplugs were available in the unit. Beds were super comfortable with soft luxuries linens which is a must have for me. We will definitely be back!

I enjoyed staying at Vivian's place and it worked just fine for my purposes. I was in town for a conference and the home is about a 20 minute walk to the convention center. The apartment was well appointed and I appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer. The home is in a quiet area of the city and fairly residential. There weren't many people walking around when I was coming back at night, which did give me pause as a solo female traveler, however I found the surroundings to be safe and had no problems.

Everything about this stay was perfect. At first, I was a little worried about the reviews about the shower water being cold, but both showers had hot water running! Friendly host! Very responsive! And very helpful security at the door! The place was very fresh, clean and beautiful! Definitely one of my favorite stays added to Tijuana!

Amazing location and apartment! Lala was pretty helpful throughout the whole process as well and stayed awake late just to make sure I can get in

I booked the flat as an alternative to a hotel for a business trip to San Diego. My expectations were surpassed. Felt right at home so the business stay didn't feel like a trip away from home at all.

👍👍👍

The condo was a good stay and matched the listing description.

Tony’s listing was exactly as described in photos & writeup. Very clean & on point. Responds quickly & gave us a heads up prior about a Marathon going on so we could plan travel accordingly. Located in area where you can walk to local restaurants & bars. If traveling to San Diego again, I will most certainly book this place again.
