Marsha graciously met us relatively late at night, had "upgraded" our room to a private patio, showed us around and brewed us a cup of tea with a fresh lemon from her tree. Her whole place is a garden oasis with a fresh and warm feel. The room was not large but had a large closet, desk and comfortable chair with plenty of lamps. With the sliding glass doors leading onto the patio, it did not feel cramped. We slept with the door partly open to the patio air. Marsha made a healthy breakfast available: whole grain breads, fruit, fruit juice, cereal and toppings. A bonus was a guest who played her grand piano. There were a number of places in and outside of the house that would be lovely for sitting, enjoying a cup of coffee or tea and reading. We have already shown some of our friends the photos of her place. We also loved the neighborhood, in an older part of LaJolla with a real mix of architecture.
