We had a lovely stay at Juliana's place in Del Mar. The location is ideal for hiking and exploring the beautiful surrounding area -- a very short walk to scenic trails overlooking the ocean, and a slightly longer one down the hill to the gorgeous beach and, a bit further on, the Torrey Pines reserve, an amazing place to hike with stunning views out over the Pacific. Juliana was warm and friendly and responsive, helped us out with tips about what to do and where to eat. We had a fabulous time exploring up the coast toward Encinitas and Carlsbad, and one of my daughters had a surf lesson with an outfit in Del Mar recommended by Juliana. Overall an excellent place and host, highly recommended!
