We all loved this cottage, my son, my boyfriend and I , including my little pets. The Orange trees were great, we had fresh squized Orange juice daily. The noise of the planes did not bother any of us, we walked to Balboa park and little Italy and took an ubber from the gas lamp, not expensive at all. We are locals from IB and had to take a forced staycation since our place was being tented. We really enjoyed the different aspects of the city by walking and were able to have a great experience. A microwave maybe needed but not necessarily. I was able to cook a little since the utensils were available also. I would recommend and stay there again. Thank you Carlos and Javier for responding to my texts promptly. Till next time 😁
