Portia's La Jolla Studio was just as described in her listing ... a comfy spot in a sublime garden with a view of the ocean. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute. Portia and her family were friendly and helpful, but respectful of our privacy. The studio is in such a convenient location. We walked to several beaches and overlooks, and there were lovely places to shop and eat within a few blocks. Portia's garden --- packed with oranges, orchids, bromeliads, and hibiscus --- is perfect for vacation lounging. She's set up a little kitchen area in the studio that works fine for making coffee and putting together simple meals. We certainly appreciated having a washer and dryer available. We would absolutely stay here again.
