Hermann's a wonderfully gregarious, helpful, informative and warm host who has created a wonderfully interior-designed home that's well-appointed for guests and has an amazing view from the front door out over La Jolla yet within a comfortably close walking distance from all the shops and restaurants and seashore walkway. It was exactly what my wife and I were hoping for to be able to best experience the feel of 'living' in La Jolla (and now I think we are both looking at Real Estate in La Jolla.) Also met some other very friendly and interesting guests who were staying there too. It was the highlight stay of a long weekend roadtrip LA to SD.
