The Cozy Casita was a great central location and home base for me and my sisters. We split our time between beach neighborhoods, and the North Park and La Mesa neighborhoods. If we had more time in the neighborhood we would have explored more. There was plenty of space for the three of us to comfortably hangout in the evenings and we loved the shared outdoor area. The only real downside, which John warned us about ahead of time, was parking. Would stay again! Plus, John was a great host! When we were bozos and needed help with the TV, John was available to troubleshoot and problem solve with us.
