La Jolla is a wonderful destination and this is a great option if you want to stay there. It is a private apartment as described. Very clean and comfortable. Great option for one or two guests (if they are willing to share a bed).

Elvera is a good host. She greets you warmly, shows you around, and then stays out of your way.

The only downside is that you will mostly likely want to have a car to get around. The apartment is not in the business district. I found street parking without much problem.
