Idle Cottage was welcoming and charming. We enjoyed our stay there immensely. The cottage is located in a neighborhood near everything you need--restaurants, drugstores, grocery stores. We were 10 minutes from the zoo and 15 minutes from the Midway. Great location. No problem with on-street parking. Bill went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We wished we could have stayed longer. Bill and Idle Cottage are a super combo for a visit to San Diego. We highly recommend them both.
