My fiancee and I had a much needed trip to Mexico planned that was abruptly cancelled 18 hrs prior to our departure time. With less than 24 hrs notice, Rick was immediately responsive and got us hooked up(thanks, Rick).
The Secret Cottage was the perfect urban oasis we were looking for, though it might be a little tight for more than 2 people. It was super clean and well maintained. I would recommend turning fridge temp down as soon as you arrive as it takes some time for it to get to the right temp. To be fair, it was 90 degrees in San Diego when we arrived.
The location was great, also. 2 blks from Balboa Park, 15-20 min drive to most beaches. Check out City Tacos on a tues nite, you're welcome.
In summary, I highly recommend this property, and Rick was a terrific host
