The house was exactly how it is pictured. It was clean, comfortable and quite charming. The atrium was so nice to relax in or enjoy your meal outside. The game room with darts and foosball made it fun for family activities. This is a great neighborhood and close to downtown La Jolla, it’s walkable but there are a lot of hills (good workout). Apparently the house next door is also a rental and there were several families with small children. Needless to say, it was very loud with crying babies during the early morning hours and drunk parents in the late evening 😳. Since the houses are so close to each other, you can literally hear all conversations when someone is outside.
This was the first time we had stayed at an Airbnb through a company vs an individual owner. I must say this was quite a difference. Not having that personal touch was apparent. I was quite shocked that there were NO paper towels, napkins or tissues anywhere in the home. It is clearly not feasible to think that someone would consistently run a load of laundry to wash napkins for every meal. I have also never stayed in a home where the owner didn’t leave some sort of soap/body wash. I always bring my own, however the little things go a long way. Overall, the good definitely out weighs the bad. If you are staying here, just bring your own paper goods and toiletries.
