I highly recommend this Airbnb! My husband and I frequently travel to SD to visit friends and family and always chose to stay in Airbnb's over hotels. Gail & Beth's cottage was easily one of the better Airbnb's we have found.
The location was super convenient to getting around the greater San Diego area. We could easily hop on the freeway and head to beached in North County, or head downtown and into Coronado for a change of scenery. Being nestled between North Park & Hillcrest meant that there were plenty of options for coffee, food and drinks. We walked to a new coffee shop each morning to get our day going. Also being close to Balboa park was a treat, I enjoyed a nice run in the park and along the trails one day.
The cottage itself is super cute. It's on the smaller side, but all the space we needed as a couple. We loved the décor and the nods to the home's historic craftsman design. We particularly liked the new kitchen and are still kicking ourselves for not making a meal one night. The bathroom was cool and had a unique clawfoot tub - was a little tricky getting in an out but we got used to it quickly. I personally appreciated all the lighting and natural light from the window for when I needed to get ready for a wedding we attended. The weather is beautiful year round in San Diego so more often than not we wanted to be outside. The backyard was a perfect little oasis to enjoy a drink, take a phone call or soak up some rays.
On the technical side - Communication on check in and out was easy and clear. Parking on the street was never a problem.
