The cottage is a great way to stay in San Diego. It is in walkable distance to nice bars and restaurants, but the place itself is very quiet and relaxing. You will find everything you need in your own little home (dvd player, books, coffee maker etc.) and there is room enough for a little family like us. John is easy to talk to, very friendly and a great host, who is happy to share information about where to go in SD. Also you have a lot of privacy. Highly recommended!
