We originally picked the Cottage for our stay in San Diego for a number of reasons. Number one, we wanted to be downtown and that we most definitely were. His place was accessible to Little Italy, The Gas Lamp District as well as the airport. The major artery of Route 5 was also just a block away so accessibility to these major areas made it easy to see a lot of the city....and all in walking distance as well! His home is a large Victorian with many rooms for guests on the upper level but we opted to stay in his Garden Cottage on the lower level for more intimacy. The place was homey as well as tranquil.
