Joy left very specific instructions in the cottage and included a lot of "things to see" type material on the table. The cottage was comfortable and the neighborhood was very charming. If you're the sort to just stay on the wifi and stay in instead of experiencing San Diego, this probably isn't for you(take advantage of the location!). There were a lot of food spots well within walking distance and ample parking. The only drawback was that we couldn't book for a longer stay;the cottage was fully booked for the weekend. Everyone that lived there was very helpful when it came to answering our questions. Highly recommended.
