I came from Pennsylvania for the week and was blown away by this beautiful studio. From the minute, I pulled into the driveway I loved every second that I was here. The cottage looks exactly like the photos and had everything you could ever want and more from perfect bedding to a heated toilet seat to several different coffee makers, and the most adorable backyard with beautiful flowers and trees. I unfortunately had four straight days of rain while visiting but was lucky enough to be here in this adorable cottage where I could sleep in and relax and watch TV shows while looking out at the beautiful backyard. It is located on a busy street, but it was very easy to get in and out of the driveway and each morning I took a long walk through the neighborhood and saw the most beautiful homes with fruit trees and the stunning mountains in the distance. I can’t wait to come back to San Diego and I will not hesitate to rent this cottage again. ##### Susan M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan Z.

It had everything we needed. The bed and couch were very comfortable. The property owners were attentive to our needs and proactive in making us aware of any potential issues. They even had free oranges growing in the back yard! Overall we had a very pleasant stay. We reserved the place as it was within walking distance of our son in Las Mesa. If you are walkers like us, you should know though that Bancroft Street does not have sidewalks for a short stretch and it can be a busy street at times. Other than that, the property was top notch and we have no complaints. ##### Alan Z. Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison C. Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect San Diego Getaway My teenage son and I loved Barb’s place. It was perfect! The amount of space was just right. The location was fantastic! Easy access to the freeway and we seemed to be 20-25 minutes, at most, from most major SD attractions. Barb supplied body wash, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, bath towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, trash bags, and even had water and snacks. This was so thoughtful and convenient since most guests are flying in and not able to bring all of those items. The bedding was clean and comfortable. We had plenty of quiet and privacy. I sleep with a white noise machine and highway noise wasn’t an issue at all. As others have mentioned, the street is somewhat busy but we didn’t have any problems backing out. Just be careful. There is a bathtub but the stopper wasn’t holding the water. It wasn’t a big deal to me but it might be if you have small children. Also, there ARE curtains on the door and back door. This place was great and Barb was fast to reply to texts. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for couples or small families. ##### Allison C.

The cottage is identical to the listing - the garden was so beautiful and a great place to relax. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, any cooking appliance you would need , and a full spice rack - made cooking a total breeze. All listed amenities were present and made it feel like home.Host communication was excellent, all necessary information was provided well in advance and made it easy to check in and out. A word of caution, the street this home is located off of is quite busy. I would recommend backing into the driveway to make it easier to leave the property. Would definitely stay again! ##### Lucy F. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Annette S.

May 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in a quiet setting Barb and Gary have done a wonderful job at their rental. Clean, quiet, great location, and very close to some of San Diego’s finest destinations. Snacks are left for the guests and their backyard is a peaceful retreat. ##### Brent E.
