The garden cottage was the perfect place for my friend and I when we visited San Diego. The house is beautiful with a great location...we walked everywhere from the waterfront to Balboa Park. It was wonderful to sit in the garden in the evening and relax, and having the common areas open to us on check in/check out days made everything so much smoother. Michael went above and beyond as a host. He was helpful and hospitable from the moment we booked, and even when we had a mishap, he was amazingly understanding and gracious. I would absolutely recommend this listing.
