We stayed at the cottage with our 2 year old son and Golden Retriever. Everything was exactly as advertised! We hit the Zoo and Coronado. The location is perfect for both of these trips. Zoo is literally around the corner. Easy street parking. Close to tons a local hangs/eats. Camilla suggested Street Car Merchants....BEST fried chicken I've ever had. You must also eat a donut there. For an awesome burger try Cali "O" Burgers. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering. Good times!
