Bill's a great host and extremely conscientious to ensure his guests are enjoying their stay. We were welcomed upon arrival and Bill was very keen to help us enjoy San Diego as much as possible by providing excellent recommendations and local tips for the area. The Idle Cottage is a fantastic place to stay if you want to check out some of San Diego's main attractions/places such as Balboa Park, La Jolla, Old Town and the beaches (Ocean and Mission). The majority of the attractions are within about 15/20 minutes drive, but if you wish to explore locally there's a lively avenue nearby which has trendy Cafes, Bars and Boutique shops - all within a 10 minute walk.
The place itself is very well thought out; the layout and all round attention to detail was perfect. Also, the added bonus is the private patio which was great in the evenings to relax from a long day exploring San Diego. There is a couple living on the floor above so you do hear the occasional footsteps, but this is not a problem as it's very minimal.
In terms of parking, it's very easy and always had a spot to park up outside of the place - if you're not planning on driving in San Diego, Uber is cheap to use in order explore San Diego from Bill's place.
As a summary, it's a great place with excellent amenities and a very friendly host who will ensure you make the most of San Diego and make you feel at home in the Idle Cottage!
