Aaron's cottage was the perfect place to stay for a couple of days when most of my activities were centered around North Park, University Heights, Hillcrest, and Balboa Park. The location is ideal! Everything was very clean and well cared for including kitchen stuff, the bathroom, and a workspace in the living room. There are blackout shades and sturdy new windows for light and sound which made falling asleep easy. I highly recommend this great place for a stay in San Diego.
