Karl's place is so great. The location is right in front of a quiet beach to spend the day, (which is a nice view everyday to look at) but if you want to visit the more touristy places, you are right between and super easy to get to them. A quick 15-20 min drive takes you everywhere. We were able to go to La Jolla beaches, Coronado and Pacific beach. There is also grocery stores, laundry services and awesome restaurants within walking distance. The apartment had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and spacious.
Karl was very nice to purchase camping chairs for us to take to the beach.
We will certainly go back again if we have the chance.
