We felt very welcome at Dorothy's cottage. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and close to the airport, downtown and small markets.

I read the listing as having 3BR instead of 3 beds so that was a surprise when we arrived and found only 2 bedrooms. There's a king bed in one room and the 2nd room has 2 twin sized cots with mattresses on them. My partner is 6'5 and my brother is 6'3. My brother and wife have 2 kids so we gave them the king bed. Sister in law slept on the pullout in the living room.

San diego gets pretty hot in the summer and the house didn't have AC or fans (Dorothy said AC will be installed soon so that may not be an issue for future guests). When we arrived the house was about 90 degrees inside. Luckily nights a pretty cool so we slept with the windows open. Only half of them have screens but we needed the cool air so opened most of them.

It wasn't the best set up for us but we were out until late in the night. Dorothy wasn't in town so she had a neighbor who came by to answer questions. I left my passport in one of the rooms and she had it sent overnight to me. I'm so grateful for her help.

The house was great, we just had a few unexpected things that I think would be helpful for others to know beforehand.
