The apartment is very clean and comfortable and in a great location. Very walkable or just a short drive to great restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed drinking wine in the courtyard in the early evening.
Cute walk up, as described and pictured. Great neighborhood close to beach and walking distance to town. Nicely furnished, light and airy, clean and comfortable. Only issue if I’m being picky is the windows, which are hard to operate and don’t stay open or closed very well. Despite them, I would definitely rent again.
I don’t think I could have found a better location for my trip to La Jolla. The was very cute and felt very safe. The hosts reached out almost immediately upon check-in to ask if I needed anything and replied quickly to my questions. The bed was comfortable. There were available fans (very important for quality sleep). The kitchen was well-equipped. Most notably, the beach was just steps away and I could access everything I wanted to do just by walking out my front door. I have only positive things to say about this rental.
My family of four, and one golden retriever, really enjoyed our week at this property. Being able to walk to one of La Jolla’s most beautiful beaches was fantastic. The walk was short and easy. The property was very green and well kept. We really appreciated being in the top unit where we could open the windows and get airflow on the warmer days. The fans provided in the unit were a must for hotter days. The coffee maker and blender were great. Lastly, we were concerned that the street parking might not work out every day of our stay, but actually it was never an issue, even on weekends. The garage was too small for our SUV, so we had to use street parking. Overall a great place to stay!
Lovely breezy esthetic. Small, but nicely furnished. Good kitchen equipment. Easy walk to a lovely beach. Eateries within walking distance. Very fun stay.

Great location, needs a slight revamp
Location of the shacks were perfect t. However, apartment and facilities are in need of a revamp/updating, such as extractor fan, shared laundry facilities, bedding for sofa bed. In general a nice stay, however be aware you can here others from nearby shacks very easily.
This a great place for the price! Walking down to watch the surfers every morning was a highlight. Perfect for a couple's getaway. A couple nitpicks: Buy a small bag of cofffee for arriving guests who don't make it to a grocery store when they arrive, and open the.place up the day guests are arriving. It was so hot the first night I barely slept.
Location, location, location ! That was the best part. Place very clean and kitchen with good pots and pans for cooking. The downside was bed not comfortable especially the pillows. No AC and fans very loud and no screens on windows. Couch was very comfortable.
