Incredibly tranquil hideaway in the adorable Mission Hills area where you can sit on the deck and watch the hawks cruise the canyon with your morning coffee. We walked to the shops regularly, while the best of San Diego is only a 10-15 minute drive away. The cottage is very well appointed with thoughtful inclusions everywhere and a very functional kitchen which was key for us. Christine is quick to respond and is very detailed in her responses, which was wonderful! The wifi can be a little fussy but worked well enough for netflix and the like. Parking is a tight maneuver so larger vehicles will need to take care, but we had no issues. There is a medical complex across the canyon, and you do get some noise from it - occasional life-flight helicopter or noises from the parking garage, but it's so peaceful most of the time that small noises probably seem louder than they really are. Just a lovely location and great stay.
