From the moment we stepped on the premises, we knew we were somewhere special. Brita and Reinhard gave us the same care and attention that they've given their property - which was landscaped beautifully from the birds-of-paradise plants in bloom to the passion fruit vines growing over the fence. No wonder the hummingbirds visit! On the table in our room we found plates with bagels, croissants and fresh fruit. There were snacks, and a birthday card for me! In the fridge was a bowl of gouda, brie and Laughing Cow cheeses, water bottles, homemade jams. They talked and showed us around, and we felt as welcome as family. We ate our breakfasts by the pool in the sun or on the deck where we could view the ocean, and even though we did venture elsewhere to see the La Jolla and San Diego sites, it wasn't easy to walk through the gate and away from this little paradise. We felt pampered, and yet not crowded by their attention.

We have stayed many places, and Brita and Reinhard's place was by far the best of them --- and it will hold the gold star standard for all future stays. A very quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown La Jolla....Just couldn't be any better!
