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!

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.
