TL;DR: For the value and location, I will look to stay here again. But don't expect a quick response if you need anything during the stay!
== Detailed review== Amazing location within walking distance of the beach. The unit itself is in significant need of some TLC, especially in the bathroom, but this place has the basics that you need for a short vacation in La Jolla. Bed is comfortable, shower is hot, and the place sleeps 2 comfortably. I also appreciated the beach umbrella and beach chairs in the unit available for us to use.
One call-out: For any folks who require early check-in and/or bag drop-off, FYI you'll need to text the host directly to ask, and the host can be a bit slow and vague on this. I asked about this as soon as I got our stay booked, but the host was unable to tell me if I could drop off bags, and if so, what time, until the day of. This was a bit annoying as we had arrived at 9am and essentially toted our bags around with us until 2pm or so, when we heard back from the host.
