Holly was a very attentive hostess before, during and after our stay. Her place is in a great location for walking La Jolla, and was pleasantly and unexpectedly quiet considering its proximity to Pearl. While Holly is new at renting and should improve on some simple touches, there are features that make her place a better choice to hotels in the same area. We were greeted with a couple of bottles of water and fresh fruit, a nice welcome after our drive from Norther CA.
This place provides a unique setting that allows enjoying an outdoor patio with nice, clean gas BBQ. The sink area is small but usable. Bathroom is nicely remodeled and there are plenty of clean towels provided. Ceiling fan in master and nice Dyson fan in 2nd bedroom make those summer evenings and moist days easy to bear.
PRO: Clean, good location to downtown La Jolla, very attentive owner. Private patio with gas grill, full size refrigerator, microwave, and VONS across the street makes it easy to prepare your own meals. Location is everything and this cottage allows easy walking to beach and town, and the convenience of never having to use your car. WiFi provided.
CON: Bedding and living room furniture are not the most comfortable- bring your own pillow. No designated parking - parking on street (though it was easy to find a spot during our stay).
I'm confident Holly is a caring landlord and will consider staying there again.
