I booked Mariola's place for a group of friends in town for a wedding, and we couldn't have picked a better place. The house is spacious with a large living room, comfy couches to talk all night on, and an outdoor patio area which catches a nice breeze in the afternoon. Within walking distance of La Jolla shops, restaurants, and of course the seals and sea lions playing on the beach. Mariola was kind enough to let us drop off our stuff before official check in and even left us a bottle of wine - such a lovely and warm host! Would recommend.
