My husband and I travelled from Wisconsin to San Diego for my husband's business. We stayed at Las Casitas in La Jolla Shores for the entirety of our trip (4 days). Although I was glad that I had read the description of the condo's odd entrance and immediate surroundings, we were happy to be located in La Jolla Shores. If you're looking for a place with a view, this is not the place for you-but there are many positive aspects of this condo. First of all, La Jolla Shores is a great little community. Not overwhelmingly crowded like so much of the surrounding areas. We walked to a local Italian restaurant and a fun bar called the Shore Rider several times when we didn't feel like braving the traffic. We were just a short drive from La Jolla Cove and hiking at Torrey Pines State Park. The beach is close to the condo and absolutely beautiful. The condo itself is immaculate and furnished with high-end appliances. The kitchen was great (although we didn't cook there), the washer and dryer were brand new, and the bathroom (with its 2-person shower and fancy toilet/bidet with the heated seat) were way beyond expectations. We did have an issue with noisy people in the upper level that kept us awake the first 2 nights. After they checked out, it was very quiet. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this location to other travelers!
