Overall, my wife and I stayed here for 5 nights and had a great time. I’ll provide more details on the condo, its location, and the host below.
This is a great condo. The kitchen is modern and equipped with all modern appliances, cookware, dishes, and silverware. The living room has a really comfortable L-shaped couch that we spent a lot of time on. The kitchen and living room are really well-lit with track and drop-down lighting. There’s a balcony that I spent a lot of time on with a 180 degree view of the ocean — this was the highlight of the condo for me! The two bedrooms (one smaller and one master with attached bathroom) are spacious, and the mattresses in both are nice and firm (something I needed for my not-so-great back). Other than sleeping, we didn’t spend much time in the bedrooms, but each has long (horizontally) windows with great views. The bathrooms are functional, really well-lit (due to skylights), and well-stocked. Overall, it’s a very clean and comfortable living space.
The condo is on the top floor of a building that is in a fabulous location. The only thing that separates it from the ocean is a small street that runs in front. So, just cross the street and you’re right in front of the ocean!!! It’s also just a 10 minute walk to downtown La Jolla. We had all of our meals at various restaurants and coffee shops there, so the convenience of being walking distance to such an amazing and diverse set of food places (as well as a weekend farmer’s market!!) can’t be overstated. We also got online grocery and pharmacy deliveries at the condo, so it’s easy to access from the standpoint of getting deliveries. We didn’t use the parking space that comes with the condo (we just used Uber if we needed to go beyond walking distance), but the host makes this easily available if you have a car.
John was a perfect host — everything was just as he described if not better. Communication from him was perfect. Whenever I sent him a message, he got back to me within minutes. Nothing in the condo went wrong during our time there, but I feel if something had, John would have gotten back to me right away.
So, as I said above, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this condo.
