Terry's place is very well locarted in La Jolla, near the beach, shopping, and coffee shops. It is located behind a main residence (on a second story), fronts an inner courtyard and an alley, so it is very quiet.
It was easy to communicate with the hosts who were quite responsive to my texts.
It looks and feels like it was recently renovated. Parts of the unit are quite crisp (new kitchen). There is no central heat nor A/C but there are electric wall units, space heaters, and fans to help regulate the heat.
Future travellers should ask the hosts if the photos of the living/dining room furnishings match what is there - in my case they did not. A white couch was replaced with a dark blue one; a bright rug was replaced with a darker one; and the wooden dining chairs and table were completely replaced with padded chairs and round gray table. The curtains were one piece (instead of two) so a bit hard to open, but not impossible. What was there in the living /dining room was a bit more drab looking (in my opinion) than what was posted online and I couldn't figure out what was "off" until I checked the listing on line after having checked in. (Note: the actual bed covers were brighter/newer than those posted on line.) Fatal? Probably not, due to the unit's great, quiet location. And all these items can be addressed and/or accurate pics posted.
