Sally, the host, was very nice. I do feel the need to warn people of some things though. It might just be me and maybe I should have read more closely but beware that the kitchen area is shared. I knew the host lived in the home and had a separate part of the house but I was not aware that this was basically a hostel. We rented 2 rooms which gave us access to the kitchen, dining area and pool/hot tub. The kitchen was shared with another couple with a child in the third room. I did NOT know that going in and it made it award at first. The couple in 3rd room was nice and it worked out but just beware because you may not be soo lucky. The front door sticks so that was kind of annoying. The shower head was leaking. We only had 1 roll of toilet paper for the entire week in our bathroom so we had to purchase our own. I sent Sally a test via her phone and the airbnb site but she did not respond. The pool was really small and could have used a good cleaning. I was a little skeeved out and barely used the pool even though I intended to use the pool a lot going in. The hot tub was not hot at all. I have been in pools warmer than the hot tub. Beware that there is no air conditioning. It was like a sauna at night. BRUTAL The listing does note this (at the very bottom of the long accessory list) but I assumed any airbnb would have Air Conditioning, especially in LaJolla. I should not have assumed. It is California and it is summer months so there were ants everywhere. I understand this may be normal for California but if ants bother you just beware. The last thing I will say is I just thought the overall cleanliness of the house could have been better. The bedding and pillows were clean and fine but everything else... not so much. I was here with my wife and 2 boys who are 16 and 18. If not for the rental, our vacation would have been perfect. I feel bad saying some of this but I am just being honest and want people to know what they are getting themselves in to. I would say if you only plan on staying for a night or 2 and the pool is no big deal, then it's OK. If you want or need a pool and are staying for more than a couple of days, consider another place or a hotel.
