Our stay here was a very happy one. John and his family are really nice and the cottage was a great little home away from home. The cottage was clean, comfortable and suited to all our needs, whether we wanted to do a bit of cooking or just happily collapse into a really comfy bed after a long day of touring. John and Amelia were very accommodating to all our needs and happy to help us with anything we needed at the cottage or to know about the area. The neighborhood is awesome for getting to everything quickly - restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife were within walking distance, and the downtown/seaport/Balboa park area are just a few minutes drive away. I'll miss our palm tree and moonlight arrival there at night. It really felt like home.
