Spanish Casita in the Village of La Jolla - Walk to Everything

Spanish Casita in the Village of La Jolla - Walk to Everything

10/10 Excellent
"The location is perfect for walking to town. We had a family with two children, and they loved being about to explore the city and surrounding areas! The lodging was advertised, and the outside space was lovely to have a drink and enjoy the day. We used the plates and glasses in the kitchen, but did not use the hot plate. I would recommend grilling if wanting to cook at the Casita. With the cross breeze, the room would eventually cool, but the kids still complained a little about the lack of AC. Overall I would recommend this place to people that want to enjoy the outside space, and don't mind a short walk downtown. Eric and Yvonne we're very nice hosts and great at communicating!"
