My husband and I spent four nights in Patricia’s cottage and had a terrific experience. Our host has done an excellent job making this space inviting. The cottage was very clean with new appliances and modern fixtures. The bed was extremely comfortable and fit us well. The full size refrigerator was stocked with local brews, which was a fabulous treat after our long drive. Thank you Patricia!
We made good use of the frig/freezer, stove, microwave, coffee maker and French press during our stay. This kitchen has everything one would need to cook/enjoy a meal. The cottage is small and there is not a lot of room to lounge and stretch out but that didn't hamper our stay, as we were out and about during the day and evenings. We happened to visit during a heat wave, and the window A/C and ceiling fan kept the cottage at a comfortable temperature.
Patricia’s communications were welcoming and timely. She had prepared information about "things to do" in San Diego and a list of restaurants in the Golden Hill and surrounding areas. We thoroughly enjoyed her recommendations. Panama 66 in Balboa Park and Bouna Forchetta (down the road) were excellent. We walked to Bouna Forchetta and the Dark Horse Coffee House and highly recommend these establishments. We set out for Salud! (another recommendation) on our last night but upon arrival found the line 20 people deep waiting to get into the door. Rather than wait in line, we traveled across the street to Border X Brewery for the most amazing street tacos and beer…such a cool and laid back environment.
Parking on the property was never a problem, which is a blessing in San Diego. This quiet neighborhood is located very close to Balboa Park and is also within 10-12 minutes from Waterfront Park and downtown. Uber drivers were great and always within close distance for pick-ups.
As long as you don’t mind small and cozy, for the price, location and hospitality this space is exceptional. We would love to stay with Patricia again!
