This is a nice cosy guest house which is in a really great location in La Jolla. I recommend it as a place to stay for sure but as long as you are not planning on spending too much time in the place itself- just because of the size and a bit of a lack of seating.
Positives:
Nice quiet location, with good views of the beaches to the south. It's a nice walk down the hill to close by towns or a very quick drive everywhere in the local area.
The space itself is clean and modern.
I actually met the owner of the property (the connecting house), and he gave me some good tips and was generally a really nice guy!
Despite a couple of issues I'll mention below- I do recommend it as a place to stay.
Negatives:
Communication was generally good- if I needed something I generally got a response within an hour. But there are a couple of points I would make- I had to ask for the WiFi information and had to wait a bit of time for a response. I had no idea how to lock the door when leaving the Airbnb every day and there is no info about it.
The space itself- other than a table and chairs outside, there is no where to sit in the Airbnb other than the bed itself. This is very much like a hotel room rather than an Airbnb in terms of the space itself and the amenities. I think even just adding a normal chair to the desk where the TV is would make a big difference.
The main issue is that the guest house is connected to the garage (which is fine) but also the kitchen (or maybe the living room), behind the garage via a connecting door between the house and Airbnb. I came back into the Airbnb a couple of days in a row and it smelt very strongly of fish which was coming through the door which connects the main house to Airbnb which was not very pleasant (it probably could have been better if I had left the windows more open during the day).
All in all- I recommend the place to stay in but because of a few small issues I am struggling to give it a 5* review.
