When I first drove up to Cecilia’s I was very pleased with the nice neighborhood and safe feel as I was traveling alone. It was nice to have my own space separate from her house as I was wanting privacy. Parking was easy, right on the street which can be difficult in a lot of places in San Diego. I loved the location, it’s very central. Close 15 minute drive to Mission Beach and 25 minutes to La Jolla which are my 2 favorites. Ocean Beach is the closest and was only a couple minute drive away. No beaches in walking or biking distance, but it didn’t bother me. The cottage was clean and had all I needed for my week stay. No place to cook, but there’s some dishes, a mini fridge, and microwave so I was all set. Great WiFi connection and I loved that the tv had Netflix. A lot of the other reviews spoke of the airplane noise and Cecilia was upfront about it right away. It didn’t bother me at all though. A couple of the mornings that I wanted to sleep in I just used my white noise app on my phone and slept fine. It’s the perfect size for 1-2 people. I will for sure stay here again.
