We had a great time staying with Marie in Claremont Mesa. The stay was delightful…both vacation and business as we were moving our daughter into her apartment at UCSD/La Jolla. Marie was very welcoming…giving us consideration for privacy…and letting us have full use of her great home. I felt like it was our home too while we were there. I really enjoyed morning in the backyard with my coffee. The backyard is very special and relaxing…featuring an efficient container garden (many succulents) with lots of shady table spaces. The different themes for the rooms (African, beach, etc) were enjoyable. Marie has a small dog (Tuda) that was very cute. The room was cool and comfortable…very nice for sleeping at night. The neighborhood was quiet day and night. The location is great, it’s a safe neighborhood with great access to restaurants, shopping, La Jolla, and the beach. I would gladly return again…and again… Thanks very much Marie…we are looking forward to our next visit…
