We didn't have the opportunity to meet Paige during our stay, but we met Kyle several times and he was very friendly and helpful about our lodging. The cottage is small, but very cozy. The bathroom and shower area have a creative sliding door which does the job, but if a requirement for your stay is complete privacy while using the facilities, you won't find privacy like that in the cottage. So keep that in mind if you're traveling as a couple. We loved the chickens in the backyard, the neighborhood and made use of the small kitchenette in the cottage for breakfast in the mornings. Street parking was easy and we could walk to a cafe in the morning for coffee which was very nice. The location is very near most popular tourist activities in San Diego. I don't think any activity we drove to took more than 15 or 20 minutes on the freeway.
