Being our first time out to the West Coast, we were unsure of where to stay. We were debating on whether to stay more downtown by versus the beach. We were happy with our choice to stay at the beach for our first trip out. La Jolla is a great place for relaxing, walking along the beach (which there are a lot of sidewalks/walking paths near the apartment) and scootering around town. Although it is about a $25 Uber ride to and from downtown, which can get very costly so that’s something to consider, especially if you aren’t renting a car. We will certainly be staying closer to downtown next time we come though.
Unfortunately while we were staying in SD, there was a heat wave and with the apartment having no AC (which we were aware of), thankfully we requested 2 fans beforehand. However, the apartment still got up to 85 degrees with them blowing during those hot days.
Overall, it was a great spot for a relaxing trip by the beach. Seal cove and Torrey Pines is a must while staying out there! There was also this distinct, odd smell every time we walked into the apartment too
