What a great experience! John and his wife were both incredibly accommodating and flexible with our crazy arrival and departure times, and went above and beyond in making our stay comfortable. In addition to our host's excellent communication, the cottage was perfect-sized for our small family of three, 2 parents and a baby, and the neighborhood was perfectly situated in a neighborhood brimming with restaurants, shops, and coffee houses. We had everything we needed from towels and coffee in the cottage, television with a bunch of channels when we were stuck inside (napping baby!), and food and drinks within walking distance when we could get out. Finally, the beach is only a short car ride away! All in all, a wonderful experience, and hopefully we will be lucky enough to be able to book again when we return to San Diego.
