We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at John's cottage. The cottage itself was comfortable, clean and private. It has air conditioning and heating, although we didn't need either during our stay since the weather was perfect! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The cottage is in a great location with easy access to public transportation to get to downtown, Balboa Park, Old Town or other attractions and is within walking distance to many restaurants/coffee shops in North Park. There is a binder that John prepared for guests that contains helpful information about local food, attractions, how to use TV and WiFi, lots of other useful info.
John was a great host. He was very easy to reach via email, text, phone and always responded very quickly. He stocked the cottage with essentials (shampoo, extra razors, etc)- perfect since I forgot a few things- and left a couple of great tasting local beers in the fridge.
Wish we could have stayed longer!
