We very much enjoyed out stay with Rick. We were made to feel very welcomed by Rick's hospitality, as well as the relaxed home like feel of the cottage. The cottage had the feel of being far outside the city, as it was located among Rick's carefully-curated garden in a neighborhood that felt very quaint and relaxed. That being said, we were still within 10 minutes of all of our destinations for the weekend, including La Jolla and Mission Bay. We very much recommend staying here with Rick.
