I booked a short stay for my mom at Irene's cozy cottage and my mom absolutely loved staying there. It's been over a week since her stay and she still talks fondly of it.
Location: Fantastic! It is in a very beautiful, walk-able, safe part of San Diego. There are restaurants, 24-hour convenience stores and beautiful Balboa Park, all within walking distance.
Cleanliness: Extremely clean! And I'm particularly picky about cleanliness so I don't say that lightly.
Style: The cottage is very well appointed and it feels cozy.
