We absolutely loved the cottage and the Golden Hill area. We're seriously considering moving here after this trip! We arrived on Friday night and everything was neatly prepared for us. Conveniently located Starbucks, liquor store and Balboa Park right nearby. Parking was a little hard to find on Friday night before Saturday's farmers market, but we got in really late. There are Deco Bikes right near the Starbucks on the corner you can walk to a take downtown and to the Gaslamp Quarter. We had breakfast at Cafe 222 (best potatoes ever) and dinner at Lou & Mickey's (expensive but delicious), and we recommend both! We also took our pug Jak to the Coronado dog beach one day and then we went to La Joya to do to Sea Cave Kayak Tour, which was awesome. Overall, Miles was the perfect host. Very responsive, nice and helpful with suggestions of things to do. His place was clean and the patio was really nice and relaxing! We can't wait to come back!
