I stayed at Rick’s Secret Cottage for 10 nights. It was the perfect spot to relax and get some work done. The cottage is as-described in the listing and everything worked as expected. I can tell that Rick puts a lot of effort into maintaining the cottage and making guests feel welcome. Rick’s cleaning person came by halfway through the stay and did a great job.

The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc and the bathroom had all the extra supplies one might need. There were also lots of towels available.

The A/C unit in the bedroom and the washer and drier all worked well.

Rick met me right on time at check-in. Communication after that was by text and was quite effective.

The neighborhood felt safe. I enjoyed being able to easily walk to and around in nearby Balboa park.
