All around excellent!

The space was exactly what we needed for our three day weekend! Cute, craftsman style space with private back patio. The pictures undersell this place. I highly recommend this place to stay and the hosts. They were very helpful and courteous. Thanks again!

A charming, quiet, well-equipped cottage in a lovely, walkable neighborhood convenient to Mission Hills, Old Town, Hillcrest, Little Italy, Bankers Hill and downtown. Several bus lines are nearby. Balboa Park is easy to reach. Numerous nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Washer/dryer is a definite plus!

Charming cottage

Quiet and yet in neighborhood close to downtown & Old Town. Ten minutes to the beach. Can walk to great restaurants & bars. Your own private deck & garden. We live in the neighborhood & stayed here while water damage to our house was being fixed, but would be a great place for out of town visitors also.

Lovely!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Lydia's Cottage. The property was extremely clean and had everything I was looking for--great location on a quiet, suburban street, where I felt very safe; great kitchen and bathroom, very updated and stocked with all amenities; the porch in the back is wonderful--a lovely place to relax. Lydia and her family were very welcoming. I will definitely request to stay here again, if it is available on my future trips to San Diego.
