John and his family were wonderful hosts! We arrived to a clean and comfortable cottage, and the location proved to be ideal for exploring downtown, the waterfront, and of course, Balboa Park and its surrounding neighborhoods. We took the bicycles out several times and they were a fantastic way to discover San Diego. The town is not the most bike-friendly (yet), but John gave us some helpful navigation advice to make it easier for us to get around. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay in San Diego.
