We loved Andrew's house. First of all, it is in a great neighborhood. Walk a few streets over and you see some truly fabulous houses. Walk one block in another direction and you have a plaza with Von's and several wonderful restaurants. The main part of Downtown La Jolla is a 5 minute walk, so you'll never be bored.
Secondly, the house itself has everything you need: two large beds, a cozy living room and a kitchen with everything you'd need to cook. It's very cute from the outside, and just as cute and tidy on the inside. We traveled with two very small children, and while the house is not necessarily baby friendly (not that it's supposed to be), the layout was very convenient. The two bedrooms were separated well enough so one kid didn't wake up the other at night.
Lastly, Andrew is a great host. He checked in on us several times and was very friendly and laid back about various requests that we had.
