The location for the cottage was really good. Walking distance to Balboa park and various restaurants, and bars.
However, we were very disappointed with our stay as the place was unbearably hot. The fan provided wasn’t effective at all and we had to go out and buy an additional fan which did little to relieve our discomfort. A fan was later provided by our host after we complained. The heat was less than ideal especially when travelling with a baby. We spent as much time as we could away from the place as it was cooler outside.
The WiFi didn’t work and was not fixed by the host during our stay despite raising this as an issue. The cottage was smaller and had older amenities than we expected and lacked the homely and welcoming touches we have valued so much in all the other Air BnBs we have enjoyed staying in.
