My family and I spent a few nights at the cottage. Checking in/out was very easy. Carlos and Javier were very quick to respond and even let us check in early because we got to San Diego from Phoenix way sooner than anticipated. The cottage was very homey feeling and clean. We forgot our shampoo and conditioner back at home but luckily there was some in the shower! We also loved that there was a front yard that was enclosed, we were able to let our daughter and dog play outside without any worry. On our first day there we took our daughter down to the park at the waterfront - the best part is that it's walking distance and very easy to get to (straight shot) and they were not kidding when they said the cottage is right below the airplane path.. we loved it though! Originally being from the big apple, noise does not bother us. Our daughter was really sad to leave... We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent it out again!
