John's cottage is just as he describes and looks exactly as the pictures posted. I was very happy staying at his cottage. It's nicely decorated, comfortable, clean, private & safe. My nephews enjoyed it and thought it was supper cool to have our own cottage. The smaller room downstairs was a treat for my nephews: their own room with a TV and a little hide-a-way- closet for the 3 year old, he was so excited he said "my own room!" The master bedroom was comfortable and plenty of closet space. Beds being comfortable are important to me~ the Beds were very comfortable, the bedding was soft and the pillows just right. Having extra fans was a great touch ( I love a cool house) though the ceiling fans and the AC were enough. Kitchen had all that we needed. John was wonderful and responded quickly to any questions I had~ I very much appreciated that. The patio was comfortable and we enjoyed our morning coffee or our evening dinner. Everyone we passed by on the property were cordial. The closest beach is about a 15 min drive; we went to a total of 3 beaches ~ enjoyed them all. The cottage is close to downtown, old town San Diego and Gaslamp Quarter~ it really is in a great spot... real close to freeway also. Parking was never an issue either. If you choose to stay at Johns' cottage~ you will enjoy!
