On the surface, this place seemed idyllic - great La Jolla neighborhood, clean and tidy apartment. We came down for our 14th annual 4th weekend where we simply needed a place to crash, as our friends host a party at their place on the beach on Neptune down the street.

However, the idealism of the weekend was marred by the host's pedantic and condescending nature through the course of our stay. Marnie seems great on the surface, but I wouldn't ever stay at this host's property again namely because of her scolding like a mother to blameless children.
