Laleh's place was a dream for my family of four. We had just spent a long weekend in Claremont, CA for our daughter's graduation and decided to make our way to relax on the La Jolla beaches for the week. The beds were comfortable and bedding soft. Although on the street level, the place is surrounded by greenery to create a plush cushion from noise and nosy people. We had a parking space in which we left our dorm-filled mini van parked all week long. Everything was walkable -- the beach, grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, and pilates studios. We cooked many of our meals together in the fully stocked kitchen. That was a real pleasure to have a breadth of cooking utensils and even a salad spinner. It was the perfect space to land for the week to make our way along the beach and to dive into our summer reading.
