Portia was a very lovely host and I and my mother had the chance to get very close and intimate and we got to have lovely conversations with her about her experiences and ideas. She is a very open-minded and thoughtful person and provided us with anything we asked for. She has a wonderful family that we also got to meet and have conversations with. The garden in her house was very pretty and well kept and it had so many beautiful chairs and tables with a view to the ocean. The place was very clean and well kept and all necessary shampoos and creams were provided in the bathroom. I would totally recommend her place to anyone who would want to have a local experience in la jolla.
