Joy was a great resource for my boyfriend and I during our visit! She was super responsive to questions via text and face to face. She helped us find some of the best restaurants in each part of San Diego that we explored. The cottage was cozy and had all that we needed for our stay (dishes/utensils/stove/coffee). It did get a bit warm if you don't leave the entrance door open, but I think mostly that was due to the abnormally hot temperatures during our weekend stay. The super fan worked great to cool us down during the evenings. The location of the cottage was so close to everything we needed! And we felt super safe in the area. There were a ton of shops and cafes/bars within a 10 minute walk from the cottage. Driving, its just a short 7-10 minute drive to get downtown. The back patio was lovely to sip wine and relax after a hot day... and if you like dogs her two pups are so sweet!
