Most everything was as expected based on the many good reviews. My favorite things about the space were the patio overlooking a lush, peaceful yard, the cozy fireplace, easy parking, and proximity to La Jolla and the city at a good price (and the bikes, though we didn't get a chance to use them). The main downside was the noise of traffic with the house being on a main road (which I unfortunately overlooked). I saw a couple reviews mention the sound of traffic, but that it wasn't a problem so I figured it couldn't be too bad, especially with the many reviews that don't mention it. For my partner and me, it definitely caused us to wake up many times throughout the first night – loud trucks, revving engines, or cars with loud music. While brief, it was consistent throughout the first night. This is of course not the host's fault, I just want sensitive sleepers looking for some R&R to know because it made our brief getaway much less relaxing in that we got very poor sleep. It also could have been that the first night was a Saturday with nice weather and the pandemic easing a bit, perhaps more people were out and about than normal? The next night we used an app to play the sound of a stream to help cancel out some of the traffic noise, but it still woke us up throughout the night (all windows closed both nights), though less than the night before, thankfully. The porch light above the main door (not the studio's door) also was a bit bright through the blinds. Again, this is coming from two people that minimize light and uses a sound machine or fan most nights at home. If these things don't disturb you normally, then this spot is a great choice.
