Take some of the reviews with a grain of salt. I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews but definitely enjoyed my entire stay with Katerina and Younes and will be back again.
Yes, there is no parking at the house, however there is plenty of parking on princess street and its an easy walk back to the house with a nice view.
Yes, its on a busy dual lane street and traffic is crazy. You can hear some traffic sounds in the room, but that was never an issue since you will be very tired from enjoying La Jolla.
The room and bathroom could use some fine detailed cleaning but it wasnt that bad. The towels were a little mildewy and old and the bedsheets were a little grimy with some hairs on it. Katerina should replace the sheets and towels next time or you can bring your own.
The wifi needs some extra distance to get coverage in the suite, but thats an easy fix
There isnt a lock on the door to the bedroom however i felt comfortable enough with Katerina and definitely safe with Younes protecting the house. Katerina should replace the door knobs with a lock and that wont be an issue.
The view on the patio is definitely awesome, the patio itself could use some extra cleaning and the couch could use a fresh cover.
Katerina was very hospitable and nice and Younes the lovable doberman is a very good security feature and great buddy to hang out with at night when you're drunk and enjoying the ocean on the patio. If you are complaining that there is no tv and making a big deal about some of the small issues you probably arent out enjoying the beach and downtown enough. Its a perfect walking distance to wherever you need to go and thats the best part.
I defintely recommend and will hopefully be back soon.
