The cottage is a welcoming respite for busy travelers! It is very easy to get to, either from the airport or downtown. The location is convenient if you need to get up and out early - lots of possible alternate routes in case there's commute traffic. I made use of the kitchen on this trip - I fixed breakfast and lunch for myself there. It rained one of the days but on the other days I was able to have my coffee out on the lovely patio and enjoy the plants. A favorite place for my San Diego visits!
