Colin's property is in a cute neighborhood in San Diego. It is located right across from a school, so there is some noise in the morning, but it might not bother you if you're tired enough. The neighborhood is pretty quiet in general. Overall, the place is clean and stylish. When my boyfriend and I arrived, we were pleased by the room and accommodations. There were 2 water bottles on the counter, which was nice to encounter after a road trip down from L.A. The linens are cozy and make you feel like you want to fall asleep on the spot. There's a patio outside which is really nice. Colin communicates well and stays out of your way as a host, unless you have any questions. A few tips/suggestions: bring your own towels (Colin provides towels but I brought my own because I knew I was going to wear make up and I didnt want to dirty his towels), if you're sensitive to noise/light sleeper you might want to bring earplugs (I will say that noise wasn't a huge issue and that I was able to get a good night's sleep), bring another pillow if you are accustomed to sleeping with more than one pillow (if you're traveling as a couple. For a single traveler there are more than enough pillows). Would I recommend this place to a friend? Hell yes! The value is great ☺
