Overall our stay was good. However, the bathroom could have used a better cleaning and the freezer in the refrigerator needed defrosting pretty badly. The bed was great and we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location

Perfect size room and location for our 3 night stay. Close to a variety of coffee shops and restaurants. Was a little nervous about the pull out couch, but it and the pillows were very comfortable. Beautiful neighborhood to walk around. Hosts were very responsiveness. The trees have grown, so no ocean view from the balconey, but very nice none the less.

Perfect location

This studio rental is set on a beautiful property, in what has become one of my favorite parts of the San Diego area. The walk to stores, shopping, wine, coffee, restaurants, and a great bakery is just a matter of a few short blocks. The space itself is outfitted with everything that you should need to enjoy your stay. Highly recommend.

Nice place to stay if you're ever lucky enough to be in La Jolla. Sunny studio with kitchenette and big TV screen. Excellent location only a few miles from downtown La Jolla in a safe neighborhood. Highly recommended. NB: especially good if you need to park a car whether day or night.

Peaceful and lovely New Years Stay

Marty and Mark supplied toiletries,shampoo, extra blankets, even a heater, paper towels. They even supplied more than a weeks worth of coffee. Mini kitchen was cute, it had a nice touch if you wanted to cook in the kitchen. My family and I were at the location for one week stay. It was peaceful, easy to get to. Nice neighborhood. It was clean. The extra blankets was nice. The outdoor patio was nice to catch some sunshine.

Enjoyed the stay. Unfortunately there is a great need to clean the kitchen appliances. All of he toiletries were old. I felt like I was using someone’s old toiletries. The property is not appropriate for anyone who has mobility or balance issues.

The La Jolla cottage was perfect for our long weekend visit for a family member’s wedding. The hosts were fabulous, super-accommodating, and helpful. They let us in early, gave us great restaurant suggestions, and have such a beautiful space. It worked great short-term for 2 adults and 1 kid, the pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable. We loved walking down to the beach for sunset and then sitting on the balcony in the evenings.

Lovely setting, Questionable cleanliness

We stayed in the apartment for 6 nights. We chose to try an apartment on this visit rather than a hotel. We thought a privately owned unit would be cleaner & nicer. The neighborhood, the surroundings, and setting are lovely. The apartment itself has the potential to be wonderful. The cleanliness was in question. IE: The walls up towards the vaulted ceilings have many cobwebs. There is mold on the shower curtain. There is an inch of dust/grime on the blades of the ceiling fan. I won’t go on….the apartment just needs a good cleaning with attention to detail. BTW…. We had a great week in San Diego!
