Portia's place was absolutely perfect! When you walk out the front of the house, the ocean is right in front. If you walk 30 steps out the back of the house, you are at cute shops and delicious coffee/breakfast places! You are a $6 uber ride from the pier where you can eat/drink and rent bikes to go down the boardwalk. Overall, we had a great stay. The host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again if staying in La Jolla!
