Host Qualities: John was a friendly, thoughtful, and helpful host. Check-in/check-out directions were clear and easy-to-follow. John was responsive to any questions we had during our stay. John also knows what guests would need and want for a relaxing stay, as described below...
Notes on the Place: The neighborhood was mostly quiet, and the cottage is clean, cute, and convenient! We appreciated the items that made us feel at home! For example, the air freshener sprays, shampoo, towels, appliances, Smart TV, and much, much more. All of the appliances work like new. Wi-fi was strong. The interior design was simple and modern. We also liked that we were able to securely park our friend's car behind a locked gate when we all went downtown for the night.
Notes on the Location: The neighborhood wasn't very appealing, but the location was great! We didn't have to go too far to the beach or to downtown. San Diego is huge, so we were fine with taking Lyft anywhere we needed to go (we had to walk out of the alley and to the main street to be picked up).
Cons:
The only thing we didn't like was the unpleasant odor outside in the alley (probably from one of the neighbors), but it didn't affect the inside of the cottage at all.
Over all, I would recommend this place and host for anyone staying in San Diego! Would stay here again!
