It's all been said before, but Bill's space is a very comfortable place to stay and he is a great communicator before and during your stay. The cottage is behind his home and fully enclosed by beautiful plantings so that you feel as though you are sleeping in the middle of a garden! Although there is not a cooktop, we used the great electric pan to cook up our morning breakfast. Coffee, milk, and sugar were all there for that all important first cup in the morning, if you don't get to the shop to buy anything before your first morning. Some great touches: Fresh flowers to greet us, a safe to store valuables, beach chairs to use during your stay, extra pillows and blankets, lots of condiments and every utensil you would need for cooking, travel brochures on San Diego, comfortable bed, and outdoor seating for a relaxing start or end to your day. The neighbourhood is quiet, clean and very safe. On our walks to Adams Avenue, which was .4 miles away, we were greeted by everyone we met along the way. The proximity to Adams Avenue is a big plus, as it is very lively and has some great restaurants, so if you are out and about during the day it is easy to come back, have a rest, and then take a stroll out to dinner. Bill was warm and happy to chat, eager to hear about our day and plans, and offer suggestions. He obviously loves people. We liked him very much, and that always adds to a stay!
