First of all, the location is nearly perfect. Within easy walking distance of the beach, in a quiet neighborhood, not far from dining, shopping, and local attractions. Parking was only available on the street, but we were never more than a few feet away and while the streets are very narrow, we never felt like it was a problem to get in and out of the property. Second, it's an older place and a bit quirky, but you get used to it quickly and in the end, it was very comfortable and cozy. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was more than adequate, and the shower was hot and reliable. Finally, La Jolla is a wonderful destination, and is not particularly affordable, but this place was an excellent value.
