It was our first time in San Diego and we absolutely loved it! Courtney was very friendly and accommodating to our arrival. The apartment was very cluttered with the owners personal items and the tables weren't cleared. The images of the place looked much more welcoming and clean than the actual place. The backyard was messy and did not look like the photos, however, we only used the place to sleep, so it didn't really impact the trip. There are two dogs that are outside - both are friendly. Our last night the power went out, but Courtney was very responsive in answering and walked us through switching the power surge. Wireless does not work inside the cottage and 3g cellular service was in and out.
