Staying with Bill is like staying with your best friend. He is extremely thoughtful and the Idle Cottage reflects this with every detail. From the moment you walk in you feel at home. Bill is a landscape designer by trade, and his backyard is filled with all kinds of plants and flowers. We stayed in April and the smell of flowers is everywhere. A tiny bird literally hopped into my girlfriend's hand as we walked through the gate one evening.

His place is centrally located and very close to major highways, yet very quiet at night. Its a 15 minute drive to everything: Balboa Park, multiple beaches, and downtown. Stay here!
