A great find

We go to San Diego every Christmas and this year was a memorable one. Bill is a wonderful host who lives in the property next door. He was very helpful and pleasant but also respected our privacy. The cottage is quiet and very roomy for two people. The high ceiling in the living room makes the space seem even bigger. The kitchen was very new feeling and had everything we needed. There were plenty of towels available in the bathroom. Even though the entrance to the second bedroom required a couple of steps into the first bedroom, this was not a problem for us. I suppose if it were an issue, there is an outside entrance into the second bedroom, so a person could go a few steps outside to access it. The patio was really inviting. I am sure that in the warmer months this would be a great place to sit and enjoy the nice fountain and the shady garden setting. The street is a business street, but the cottage is set back from it and we had no noise problems. It was also easy to get to the freeways we needed to do our family visits. To sum up, Bill is a responsive and respectful host for his charming cottage.

San Diego family trip

We had a great time! The place was clean and Bill our host lived just next door. Bill was super friendly and easy to communicate with. Love how all the convinces of the location. Walking distance to grocery, restaurants, gas and just 8 minutes from downtown. The place was clean and had everything that we needed. Price was very affordable! Highly recommend this place.

Fun Location!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this South Park Cottage. The neighborhood is very quaint with lots of nearby restaurants, bars and shops. It’s a very walkable area with many charming homes and vistas to see. We loved the backyard area of this cottage-so nice to have a private outdoor area for hanging out in. While this cottage is not modern or completely updated, it definitely met our needs and expectations. I recommend bringing a small extension cord for the bedroom outlet as it’s difficult to reach under the bed. The property manager, Bill, is very accommodating and welcoming.

Great hidden gem in South Park

The property was conveniently located near restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Local attractions such as Balboa park and Coranado Beach were within driving distance. The house was cozy and the back sitting area was so tranquil. Bill was a great host and communicated within a timely manner.
