Annette's place was lovely and just what I needed for a quick weekend trip down to San Diego. It's located in the quiet suburb of Clairemont and only 10 minutes (maybe even less) away from beautiful La Jolla and very close to downtown, Old Town, etc. - amazing location! Annette was very sweet and greeted me at the door and check-in/out was easy. Her pup is sweet as well. I hesitate to mention this because it was so minor that it might not even matter but perhaps as a head's up for anyone with dry hair that the only amenity I didn't see when I was there was conditioner if you need to bring your own but literally EVERYTHING else I could have needed was there. And who knows, it might be there now since I was only there a night! Ample towels, both body and face, water, shampoo, body wash, etc. etc. etc. all were provided. Annette even left water bottles and Hershey's Kisses on the dresser which was the cherry on top!! The microwave is available for use as well as a fridge in the garage. Parking on the street is definitely available.
You're basically in a wing of the house so great privacy but also if you wanted to socialize, Annette and her husband were friendly and inviting. My only other small note is that I could slightly hear the other fellow travelers when they were being a bit loud but I never flagged it and it didn't bother me enough to lose sleep. Now let's talk about the REAL highlight of this listing - the electric blanket!!!!!!! Southern California in the fall/winter dips down many degrees at night and can get a bit chilly, especially with the close proximity to the ocean of this city (in a good way) and I very much enjoyed cuddling into the blanket so that was a fun plus.
If you're new to San Diego and need tips, Annette provides a wonderful binder of recommendations from food to activities. There are also some magazines to peruse -
having the People magazine with the Idris Elba cover alone earns this place a 5/5 star review. ;) Would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly!
