My friend and I spent 5 days and 4 nights in the Mission Bay Cottage, and we loved it. Everything you need is right there, the Fremdlings are wonderfully friendly and thoughtful hosts, and that bed is super comfortable.

We were in town for SDCC, and though it's a tiny bit of a walk to the trolley station, it's a reasonable distance from that, and thus from the rest of San Diego. It's only one stop over to Old Town, which is a great place to visit for historical sites and delicious food. At the same time, it's pleasantly removed from the action, enough that we were able to really relax away from the crowd. The cottage isn't far from Seaworld, so don't be surprised if you hear fireworks going off in the evening, but that's the only downside I can think of to staying here, and once we realized what it was (open the door and you can see them over the roof of the main house!), it was easily ignored.

All in all, we loved our stay here, and will no doubt return on future trips to San Diego.
