The view from Laura's place can't be beat. The view, the hot tub and the fireplace are really what you are paying for. Amazing in that regard! And the cottage is incredibly charming and part of historic La Jolla. So we were not disappointed. For people who care about the smaller details here you go: As another reviewing mentioned, the cottage could use an upgrade. It looked like the kitchen and upstairs bath had been pretty recently redone and they were really wonderful. But the windows needing shoring up and the blinds replaced. The beds were not super comfortable for more than a few nights. (Just a temperpedic mattress pad would due the trick!) Also, the outdoor furniture was very dirty - even the furniture under the furniture covers. We needed to wipe it down.On the upside, Laura accommodated our request to turn on the hot tub before we arrived which was awesome and everything else was lovely and peaceful. Great location for seaside walks also!
