The cottage has charm; plastic plants notwithstanding. The North Park location is perfect, close to many nice restaurants, cafes, and a close drive to Balboa park, etc . Its kitchen is well equipped and the place is very clean. The cottage’s manual is clear, helpful and nicely written. On the downside: internet was spotty- even after it was fixed it was still too spotty for film watching or downloading large files. The place can’t really sleep four comfortably. It’s quite small, smaller than it appears in the pictures, and not really suitable for more than two people in my opinion. Its managed by a friendly collective of several people, which can lead to minor communication breakdowns, but crew is are helpful and quite responsive. We were offered a 100 dollar credit due to the internet issues. Still pending as of this writing, but I am confident it arrive.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
