Immediately upon our arrival at Tori and Jeff's home we felt welcomed, relaxed, and enchanted. The cottage is tucked away in a lush garden filled with native plants and with a porch swing calling yr' name. The historic cottage is furnished with love and vintage style. It was very clean throughout, while not losing a bit of coziness and comfort. We enjoyed waking up to brew coffee and play the piano while waiting for our breakfast eggs to fry, the front door open to let in the sea breeze. Tori and Jeff are the most gracious hosts - very communicative, generous, and genuine folks. The neighborhood is a highlight in itself, comprised of eclectic bungalows and towering cacti. Within a 5-minute walk you'll find amazing food and boutique shops. We walked the neighborhood every day and biked through Balboa Park (10 minutes away) and far beyond! Whether you're looking for a home-base for adventuring throughout SD or a peaceful getaway to dig into a book and watch the palm trees sway, I'm convinced there is no better place. We so look forward to the next time we visit San Diego so we can stay at this gem of a cottage again!
