This was a great experience for my brother and I. We stayed here over Comicon this year and had a great time. The cottage is very nice with interesting décor and unique feel, much different than a hotel. It is an easy Uber/Sidecar/Lyft ride to downtown for the con ($10 at most) and is close to the nightlife and restaurants of the Hillcrest area.
Aaron was responsive but had no direct contact with us while we there which is fine as we already had our plans full. The space is inviting and it is nice to have a full fridge for beverages. The bed is a little bit on the small side but comfortable (just a heads up for those over 6'3"). It is set back from the main drag so is a very quiet neighborhood but still in walking distance to good dining options.
It worked out great for us this year and I would definitely recommend this place and Aaron as a host.
