We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Joy’s backyard cottage! It was clean, cozy and well appointed. Wish I had had more time to read some of her many books available. My kids loved picking out children’s books to read at night. My family of four (two younger children) fit in there just fine. I also loved the South Park neighborhood - we met many friendly people and proprietors at the South Park Brewery and Grant’s Deli nearby (yummy coffee, gourmet snacks and breakfast sandwiches). South Park was probably my favorite neighborhood in all of San Diego for its friendliness! While we never met Joy, she was quickly responsive and always very helpful communicating. We did meet Sunshine, her dog, which was another highlight for our family:)! Thanks, Joy!
