Idle Cottage is a charming, compact, and comfortable living space built out of the three-stall garage in the backyard of Bill's home. The cottage is well-designed, in excellent condition, extremely clean, and has all of the basic amenities of a short-term stay.

The location is convenient. The property is on a quiet street between the I-8, I-805, and Route 15 freeways. You can't hear freeway noise, but you can get on 805 or 15 in just a couple of minutes.

Bill is a charming and friendly host. We wish we had spent more time visiting with him. He is eager to make his guests comfortable, provide any information they may need of the surrounding neighborhood or region, and is fun to talk to. Every time we encountered Bill over our 5-night stay, he had a smile on his face and engaged us in interesting conversation.

We would absolutely stay at Bill's Idle Cottage again. I recommend it without reservation.
