"Cute little place. Great value. Loved that you could walk to everything in town. Something to know going in, bring a smoke/carbon monoxide detector. I didn’t see any in the place and I would’ve slept a little better if I had brought one with. Otherwise, excellent affordable stay"

Cozy Cottage in the Heart of San Diego
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (79)
"Communication with the host and check in/check out were very easy. You could see into the house from the doors of the guest house but they put blinds on the guest house doors in case you wanted privacy. The iron was leaky and the plugs on the power strip that was left of the bed did not work. The location was great and we could walk to food/public transportation."

Capitola Nook Along The Creek.
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (170)
"Quaint, charming, perhaps a little outdated and neglected (screens on door were ripped, had to get down on hands and knees to turn on old heater). So why did I rate it a 5? It was everything I wanted - an authentic 1920s cottage right on the creek, that wasn't charging an arm and a leg. The setting can't be beat! Would highly recommend!"
