This was our third stay at an Airbnb in La Jolla and by far the best. The view, the space, the amenities, the location — all just what we needed. It's pretty much exactly as it's described, and communication with Janine was always easy and efficient. And yes, access is by means of a steep spiral staircase. So she's right that because of that and the space's layout, it wouldn't be appropriate for everyone.
