We've spent one month at Ed's place and it's been a beautiful month! The cottage is really nice and clean, with a fully-equipped kitchen (what a pleasure to be able to cook at home!), books, TV, and laundry.
The patio is really agreeable too, you can use the bbq and eat outside.
The cottage is so close to the beach that at night, you can hear the surf!! Lots of restaurants and shops very close (the organic people's market is a great place to shop for groceries!), plenty of that famous San Diego craft beer to find!
The only thing that wasn't so nice was the neighbours. They were very friendly but they work in the evening and they came home several times in the middle of the night, shouting and listening to the TV really loud. The walls are thin and you hear everything, so it's not very nice to be woken at 3am by your neighbours screaming! If you stay there for a few days, it doesn't matter so much. But for us it started to get really annoying.
I would recommend Ed's place nonetheless: it's a great place to enjoy Ocean Beach and relax for a few days!
