Isabel was a wonderful host, so lovely. We booked literally last minute, the night before and Isabel was one of very few hosts that responded at such late notice. She was great to communicate with before arriving. She was so welcoming. Her home is absolutely gorgeous, very colourful, eclectic and charming, full of beautiful pieces. The room was lovely and tranquil with its own private bathroom (gorgeous seaside theme with plenty of towels etc), tea and coffee and a private entrance into the garden. The garden was magical, with lemon trees, tree houses, pretty flowers everywhere, just gorgeous. There was also a roof deck where you could spot the ocean, which was a short bike ride away (Isabel kindly allowed us to use her two bikes), Both La Jolla and San Diego were very short trips away on the 30 bus, which can be caught at the bottom of the road, so Isabels home is in a great location for seeing the surrounding area. There are shops and Starbucks down the road also. I would highly recommend Isabels place, its magical, and Isabel herself is so wonderful character, charming and friendly. Great.
