Rick is a very accommodating and responsive host who attends to any concerns that you have. He personally welcomed us, led us on a tour of the cottage, and even provided us with suggestions on local restaurants.

The description of the cottage was very accurate, and our experience was consistent with previous reviews from other guests:

-There's free parking along the street in front of their home.
-A keypad lock secures your personal belongings in the cottage and allows you in and out of the cottage without worrying about a traditional key.
-The front room of the cottage is composed of a living room area with a comfortable couch and a flat screen TV. You can choose to watch a number of provided DVDs or cable, or play a variety of board games. There's also a dining area off to the side, right next to a sink with a toaster, a microwave, and utensils and plates.
-The bedroom has a comfortable bed and there are clean towels stocked in the restroom.
-There's also WIFI! :)

The privacy of the cottage is a really nice touch, and it's amazing how peaceful and quiet the environment is not only at night but also in the morning. We were able to sleep in because of the lack of disturbances and felt fully rested.

Aside from what's listed above, I really believe that Rick and Judy go above and beyond for their guests. They have a print out that answers generally asked questions, provide soap and shampoo in the bathroom, placed out sunblock for those who forgot to bring theirs, and even offer bagels with fresh homemade fig jam for breakfast. Their cottage easily made us feel at home and provided the comfort that we needed to relax. Overall, we enjoyed our stay so much that we are definitely planning on coming back to stay at the cottage the next time we visit San Diego.

Thank you so much Rick and Judy!
