Andrew's cottage is very quaint and cute. It is ideally located incredibly close to all the downtown La Jolla hot spots. While our experience was positive overall, we found that his cottage's location near the main street made it a bit noisy, especially in the morning when we were trying to sleep in. Additionally, there were a few too many personal items/belongings in the house for our comfort. The fridge had quite a bit of stuff in it - as if the host had only vacated the place the day before to accommodate us (it is also possible this was left by previous guests... but even then, the fridge should have been emptied). Additionally, some of the host's pictures and personal belongings (like pictures and clothing) were in the bedroom. It might be just me, but while I am OK staying in places that are used by others (like hotels), I felt a bit too much like I was intruding on someone's home when staying in Andrew's place. That said, this cottage was very affordable for the area, so if this doesn't bother you, this is a great deal!
