Summary: The rooms arent glamorous, but you have everything you need, very nice and helpful hosts, and at a good price. The location is absolutely perfect and very convenient. It was close to everything we wanted to do. This alone makes it worth it to stay here.
Details: We booked the cottage, for the weekend, but there was a roof leak and couldn't stay there Friday night. Luckily the owner had a "cabin" next to it that was available for Friday night and Saturday we'd be moved to the cottage. The owner Michael offered a full refund if we weren't okay with it which we really appreciated. The "cabin" has an outside shower and half bathroom in the room. I wasnt completely comfortable with the outside shower , but the nice thing was that you can use the shower in the house. My bf loved the outside shower lol. The wifi in the cabin was not very good. The wifi in the cottage was a lot better, so if wifi is a must then go with the back house. Can hear airplanes, but they provide earplugs, so to us it wasnt a big deal.
Ashley was very helpful and sweet.
Location was perfect. it was close to gaslamp, zoo, little Italy, and balboa park. We were able to walk to little Italy and that was really nice.
