Chuck and Helen's place is perfectly located for anyone looking for a relaxing stay near the beach and downtown. The neighborhood is very walkable, and the cottage is less than half a mile from the beach! While the cottage was cozy, it was big enough for me and my luggage. The private patio and hot tub make an excellent place to relax after a long day of roaming around San Diego. Also, the bed might be the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. As far as hospitality and communication, Chuck and Helen are the best. They were out of town when I arrived, but they were in communication with me throughout the whole trip and left clear instructions for check in. While the cottage worked fine for me, anyone taller than 6 feet should be aware that it is small and the ceilings are low. The cottage is also located close to the airport, so there was noise from planes taking off and landing. However, I'm sensitive to noises and didn't find it to be a nuisance, so that probably won't bother most. Thanks for a comfortable and relaxing stay!
