Loved the location, very bright and cheery. Loved the covered parking . Always had enough hot water and great water pressure, nice patio table in the back for meals. I wish the propane would have been checked or a spare bottle as there was none and we had purchased steaks with no way to cook as broiler on oven had no rack for the pan. I do agree with other reviews the bed needs upgraded & a deep clean on the comforter (had stains). The biggest complaint was the ants , I sprayed the windex with ammonia but it didn’t help.All in all the place was great for 1 or 2 people. I would recommend it and stay there again

The pictures made the rental look larger ... it truly is about 170 sq. ft.Upgrading the mattress and pillows would be helpful.Overall, it's workable as a place to stay and make your meals if you don't want to eat out all the time. However, you'll be eating while seating on the couch or standing.It has a nice location, a short walk to a beach, and a good launching point to all the sites in La Jolla, San Diego and beyond.

Location and price can't be beat. Took our fur baby to the beach every morning, local restaurants were superb. A little cramped, especially the bathroom, but overall it was fine for a week for the two of us and our golden retriever.

My stay here was great! Fast and easy communication with the host, and the unit was well kept. Great location too, just a quick walk to the beach. Only downside was the assigned parking spot being pretty tight. It was doable with my Tacoma, but a larger vehicle could be a real challenge.
