Brenden's cottage is an amazing find! I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a home away from home in San Diego. The description is accurate and Brenden is an amazing host. He followed-up to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage has been refurbished but maintains its historical charm. The old stove, wood floors and accents are a highlight for me. The cottage is stocked with cooking essentials, shower products, linens, and beach gear. The bathroom feels spacious and has adequate storage. The shower has great water pressure. The bedrooms have storage and are perfectly sized for two. The living room is comfortable and has space for four to relax. The kitchen feels like the largest room in the house and has good counter space. Both my dogs and I spent plenty of time enjoying the beautiful backyard. There is a large tree for shade and outdoor seating. Because the building is older, it is not noise proof but the neighborhood is quiet. There was minimal residential noise from the studio below and neighbors. I did notice sporadic fly-over noise from airport departures. No traffic noise. Overall, the location is amazing. It is less "touristy" than other places I have stayed in the city. I felt like a local. I enjoyed walking to Ocean Beach and getting breakfast at The Template every morning. If you are traveling with dogs, there is a dog beach a short walk north along Ocean Beach and a dog wash two blocks away.
