Staying at Karen's place was perfect for our beach getaway. The Bird Rock neighborhood was really neat to explore with cafes and parks, and it was super easy to get to La Jolla beach for surfing/boogyboarding/SUPing and generally enjoying the sun. In terms of the space, it was decorated with great beachy vibes and well stocked. While the kitchen and bathroom area was a little tight, it offered everything you could need for your stay. Karen as a host was beyond lovely - she was super responsive, gave us great recommendations, and made us feel at home with some treats and goodies. Would absolutely recommend!
