The location is great, about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Food, coffee, a market all within easy walking distance. It’s a vintage home with tremendous potential. However our stay here will be our last. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very clean. The bathroom specifically was lacking, it also had items from the last visitors that were left in the drawers. The comforters on the beds are old and outdated, we had an uneasy feeling climbing into / even just sitting on the bed.
There are also NO screens on any of the windows. And, at least for our stay, it was too hot out to close the windows as there is no A/C. An old fan with dust all over it is provided but you need to leave the windows open for a comfortable temperature. I understand La Jolla is safe and locals may feel at ease, but we are not from a city where leaving your window that could fit a whole person climbing in and out of completely open is safe. We also have spider bites from them. I have 3 giant, itchy welts and my mother has 4. Thankfully my little one was not bit. There was a spider in each bathroom, and webs on the shelves in the kitchen and near the front door. I think window screens and a little TLC for the house and property would make all the difference as the house itself is charming.
