The cottage is located in a nice neighborhood in Mission Hills area. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance and this is a good central location from which to access all San Diego has to offer. We arrived very late on a Sunday night/Monday morning as our flight had been delayed and Vito continually assured via email that the time was not a problem. His cottage was exactly as described; it was clean, had a kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and included the use of a washer/dryer, for which we were grateful. It was comfortable and fairly quiet. The neighborhood was very safe and walkable. There is parking in the driveway right in front of the door.
