Kate's place was great. Check-in was very easy and of course the back patio and view are spectacular. The neighborhood is very nice and it is a lovely area to take some early morning walks. The shower and bathroom situation is interesting as the shower is basically in the kitchen area. This is not all that uncommon in a studio setup but is something to be aware of. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in La Jolla and would be happy to stay at Kate's place again.
