The listing post was very accurate. My mom and I stayed for two nights and both felt it was like a little oasis. We stayed in the garden cottage but took a tour through the big house. We were so busy most days we never had a chance to make a meal in the kitchen or use the large bath tub but loved that we could if we wanted to. The back yard garden/seating area is seriously a magical place. The location was mere minuets by car to some awesome eating places and retail stores (for medicine, candy, etc.). Also, parking was very accessible either on the street or private parking on the side of the house. Michael was kept away due to family emergencies, but would check in via phone and email to let us know the situation and still ask whether or not we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit San Diego.
