This place was exactly as pictured! In a quiet part of La Jolla, a 15-20 minute drive to other places you'd want to visit in San Diego. Loved Cathy's thoughtful touches like extra blankets (I get cold so easily even in sunny California), snacks, bottled water, coffee, shampoo/conditioner in bathroom, blowdryer (if you request), steamer, TV! I felt very comfortable here and check in/check out was so easy. Bed was comfortable too! Everything was very clean and as a solo traveler, I felt very safe.
If you stay here, definitely check out The Cottage for breakfast (on Cathy's list of recommendations). After breakfast, walk across the street and go to a cute little card store called Sweet Paper. They are local and had the cutest cards! If you're looking for sushi, go to Hitmitsu and get omasake. BEST sushi I've EVER had. YUM!
Thanks so much for everything, Cathy! This has been one of the best airbnb experiences I've ever had.
