The tin lodge is very cute and quaint. Sarah’s attention to detail was remarkable. You have a stove for cooking if you want with a stocked kitchen. Our favorite was the private patio that had 2 areas with gas fire pits and a table and chairs right outside the door to the camper. It was secluded in a nice neighborhood that made you feel safe. Within walking distance there was a coffeehouse, a Thai restaurant, a pizza place and a Mexican restaurant. You are close to Montgomery Field Airport, so you will here small aircraft occasionally and like any neighborhood you can hear dogs. My husband loved seeing the aircraft, so to us that was just a part of the ambiance. Sarah was always quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely recommend the tin lodge for it’s convenience, and value. For San Diego it just can’t be beat!
