John and Amelia are very accommodating hosts. We mentioned that we were going to be in town early, John sent us a message that early check in was not a problem. The location is good, nice neighborhood, walking distance to North Park downtown, close to (driving) San Diego sights, i.e., Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, etc. Street parking is available, although it is much busier in the evening, but we never parked more than 1/2 a block away. The cottage is roomy and comfortable. Wifi works well, standard TV stations available. John offered some DVDs and showed us where to hook up for streaming. John and Amelia have prepared a binder with good information about the cottage, TV, wifi and about the area in general. Overall the experience was very good and we would recommend staying at John and Amelia's cottage when visiting San Diego.
