The cottage was located in the middle of old town. Very walkable distance from multiple restaurants and shops. It was also a short drive from multiple locations including the zoo, downtown, the airport, etc. It was fairly clean. The owner was responsive and accommodating. The parking could get tricky since the other house is rented and you share a driveway if they don't leave enough room for you to park. Would definitely stay again!

Great location for visiting Old Town San Diego. Home was well equipped and very welcoming to our dog. It is located next to an event center or restaurant that plays very loud music on weekend nights though. Ear plugs are helpful.

I spent a lovely week with my dog at this adorable 1BR cottage in Old Town San Diego. Check in was easy, and the place was very well supplied with everything from plastic bags to cooking equipment to a flashlight. The little long patio outside was great for throwing the ball for my dog, or just sitting to enjoy morning coffee. Joan was very accommodating to requests, and even brought over a basket of dog toys and a jar of treats for my pup when we arrived! Whether I spent the day lazing around the house or meeting up with friends, I found this the perfect location for easy access to the freeways, food, gas stations, and a nearby doggie daycare, not to mention the joy of just wandering around Old Town without having to worry about parking. It was an altogether delightful place to stay, and this unit or Joan's other unit, the 2-bedroom in front, will be my go-to when I return to San Diego.

Vacation

We enjoyed our stay. The place was perfect and there was even a dog bed, toys, and a water dish filled with water waiting for us when we got there. Within walking distance to lots of dog friendly restaurants and within a 10-15min drive to all the things we wanted to do in San Diego, including an off leash dog beach. Would stay here again.

This Cottage in Old Town is perfect for our needs - we try to stay here every time we are in San Diego. The location near the transit center and all the restaurants/shops is so convenient! The cottage is comfortable and well-equipped with everything needed. Dove & Joan are accommodating hosts who respond quickly to questions. The check-in process is easy. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

Lovely trip

Joann was an absolutely fantastic host! From the moment we arrived, she was welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. When our plans changed, she graciously worked with us to extend our stay, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made our trip stress-free and enjoyable. The property itself was clean, well-maintained, and just as described. Joann’s attention to detail and hospitality made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! If you’re looking for a host who genuinely cares about her guests, Joann is the one. We’d love to stay here again in the future, thank you for everything!
