We had a lovely one-night stay in this cottage. John and family were very friendly and available for any queries we had. The property itself has a decent kitchen and bathroom, comfy bed, and is a really cosy hidey-hole to relax in at the end of a day's adventuring. Having such a comprehensive library to pick through is also pretty nice!

Being able to borrow bikes to explore the area was another big plus (though be prepared for some hills!). Its an interesting neighbourhood to stay in, with lots going on and some great local bars. Plus we were able to cycle down and explore Balboa Park really easily.

If you're staying in San Diego for a few days, you really couldn't do much better for a base to explore from.
