This was only my second experience going through AirBNB, and I am glad that I connected with some great hosts. Kyle and Paige were excellent in accommodating my needs. It was very easy to communicate with them leading up to and during my stay, as Kyle was super responsive and helpful with any questions or needs that I had. The cottage was just the right size and accommodation for me; as I was mostly out and about during the day and evening, I looked forward to the bed every night, which is AMAZING! Their neighborhood is centrally located (you can get anywhere in the SD metro area by car in 15 minutes) and just off the main drag in North Park while still being quiet and safe day or night. Plus it offers some awesome restaurants, a music venue, shops and bars if you don't want to trek too far during the day or evening. I also liked that unlike some of the other areas of San Diego, their neighborhood was more local and less touristy, which I appreciated.

Since I spent so much time at the various beaches, it was nice to come back to a quiet, home-y spot and crash for more beach the next day!

Kyle and Paige also have a patio space in their backyard where the cottage sits, which is a great spot for staying in to chill/eat/play guitar/whatever, and also some urban chickens (if you're up for a little entertainment) and a nice little garden.

Overall, Kyle and Paige were great hosts and made my stay in San Diego a warm and inviting one. Thanks again!
