We loved staying at Lorene’s place in La Jolla! You can’t beat the location - its close to everything (about a 5-10 min walk to the beach) with lots of great options for food and shopping within a 5 minute walk (including a grocery store). We only used our car once during our entire stay (and it was to go to the zoo). The place is a little dated on the decor front but was very comfortable and had plenty of space. We did have trouble balancing the temperature (similar to other reviewers experiences) but were grateful to have A/C and a Nest to make it easy to adjust. Lorene was a great host and was quick with her responses any time we had a question. We’d definitely stay here again!
