We stayed over the winter, which I guess meant there were not a lot of people around La Jolla. Considering this, the place was extremely quiet -- we read complaints about noisy rooms facing the street, but that was not our experience. Central heating was a mixed bag; some rooms were really hot, while others were cold. We had to get a fan heater for some rooms.
The place was nice and had a decently equipped kitchen. Laundry was a plus.
Overall, we liked the house -- although it is a little old -- and really enjoyed our stay.
