My husband and I loved staying at Lydia's cottage. The secluded location in the backyard was very quiet and peaceful, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The neighborhood is great for walking with some great restaurants and shops nearby. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet and there was no loud city noise at all and we go to bed very early. Lydia is a great communicator and offered us some tips and suggestions for the area. She also kindly stocked the fridge with some drinks and snacks. We felt like had we run into any problems (which we did not), Lydia and her husband would have been able to take care of anything we needed. The location was easy to access anywhere we needed to go. We hope to be able to stay at the cottage again during our next trip to San Diego.
