    What an incredible find! This little cottage was so perfect for a long weekend in San Diego. We knew it was going to be raining over the weekend and wanted a place that was gonna be cozy and comfortable to hang out and this was such a great home away from home. Not only as the property adorable, private, and very well-maintained but the house was extremely clean and very comfortably furnished! It was so nice to have a full-size kitchen and washer and dryer and would be a great place for a longer stay as well! The bed was very comfortable, the TV and Wi-Fi were easy to use and the property is located close to everything with lots of options within walking distance for coffee and meals. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the lovely host for such a worthwhile rental!

    The cottage was adorable! My sister and I had a great time. We were there 11 days. A friend came for 3 days. Very close to my daughter & family in North Park. Easy to get an Uber/Lyft within 5 minutes to go anywhere. Close to restaurants, Target, downtown, Balboa Park. Exceptionally clean, well organized, fully stocked with everything you would need. Toiletries, kitchen essentials, spices, foil, bags, saran wrap, oils, coffee pods!, etc. (Beyond!) Plenty of street parking. Manager/owner were very responsive. Only suggestions would be to have a grabber...I'm short and the step stool was difficult to get to extra bath towels, toilet paper up above. Add instructions on garbage area...pull the ring and push forward. Lock box was a little difficult, but ended up popping open. (Note: Property is in a flight path zone...as most of San Diego. We kept the doors and windows closed and didn't hear them.) We really enjoyed our time at the cottage!

    Easy check in and check out - loved staying in South Park, so walkable and cute. The space and bathroom was a little tight as we had 4 adults staying but it worked! The beds were SO comfortable with plenty of pillows.

    The location was fantastic close to North Park, Balboa, and freeways to the beaches. Super quiet and serenaded with a red shoulder hawk and a visited by bunny on the flagstone patio.well appointed!
