My husband, 2.5 year old daughter and I spent a week at Lydia's cottage. Lydia was a very responsive host. She was accommodating with our late check-in and had snacks ready for us upon our arrival. The cottage worked out very well for us - clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to restaurants and stores (and our friends!). The equipped kitchen and laundry were useful too. While the cottage is behind Lydia's house, we had privacy throughout our visit. Despite the torrential rains we experienced, we had a lovely time in San Diego and would recommend Lydia's cottage to others!
