    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!

It’s great to know the fully stocked kitchen and convenience to local spots made your trip even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate your helpful feedback on the step stool, garbage instructions, and lock box—we’ll be taking a closer look at those to make future stays even smoother. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!"

    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!
