What a perfect place to nest while we enjoyed the beaches and other attractions in the area! The studio apartment was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet while also being close to great restaurants and shops and there was easy parking right in front. When I did need to contact the host with a question, she was incredibly responsive and helpful even though she was on her own vacation at the time. We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to San Diego/La Jolla!

It was so nice to return to this quiet, calm neighborhood after being out in the crowds! Super comfortable bed made sleeping easy. And it is a short walk to restaurants and coffee shops. (The coffee supplied was really good!). We were there visiting our granddaughter at UCSD which is just a short trip away and avoids freeways.
