Host did a good job of communicating. She was quick and efficient with every question. The listing was what I expected. However, the cottage is not on the street and is back behind another home, so it was difficult to find at night in the dark. This seems to be a common set up in San Diego, but if you are not from the area, then it is quite confusing to find. The parking was very difficult. Each night I had to drive around for at least 30 minutes trying to find a place to park. I had to park several streets/blocks away and it was difficult with all of our beach gear. We could also hear the next door neighbors through the wall. It was very compact. The bed, shower, and kitchen were all great. No problems with any equipment. Emily was nice to work with.
