Very nice location central to many of San Diego’s attractions. The cottage was clean and offered all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Those looking for a reasonably priced place to stay in San Diego should consider this cottage. Thanks Paloma.

We had a great stay! The landing flight path was not too disruptive and we enjoyed seeing the planes coming down. The space is minimal and could benefit from minor additions such as a dish drying rack, but overall very comfortable and affordable for 3 adults. Paloma thought of almost everything we could need, from ear plugs to body wash. We will likely be back in the future!
