Although the photos of "Idle Cottage" on the Airbnb sight were really cute, the actual experience of staying in such a cozy, comfortable, yet thoroughly contemporary "home away from home" was beyond compare! Our host, Bill, was personable and available, and had great suggestions for things to do in the San Diego area. Loved the beautiful main garden, as well as the cute private courtyard behind the cottage. Wish we had stayed an extra day or two. The description on Airbnb is very accurate. Even though this cottage is a "guest house" behind the main house on the property, it always felt quite private. In this part of San Diego, the houses are built close to each other anyway, so your neighbors are always near, but the lush foliage and plants give a nice privacy shield. We loved our stay!
