My stay here was great! Fast and easy communication with the host, and the unit was well kept. Great location too, just a quick walk to the beach. Only downside was the assigned parking spot being pretty tight. It was doable with my Tacoma, but a larger vehicle could be a real challenge.

Dream Travel Experience

This La Jolla property exceeded my expectations. The location is unbeatable with local eateries and convenient beach access nearby. The area is safe, and offers plenty of activities. The property itself was clean. Recommend for a memorable stay in La Jolla.

Comfortable tiny studio in a great neighborhood

Location and price can't be beat. Took our fur baby to the beach every morning, local restaurants were superb. A little cramped, especially the bathroom, but overall it was fine for a week for the two of us and our golden retriever.

Nice Location close to Wind and Sea Beach

Kitchen is fully functional. Heat is via space heaters and cooling is via fans. Worked well in March. Layout is fine, cloths storage is near the bathroom and not the bedroom. That works fine. The washer and dryer worked well and overall no real issues.

Super cute, well designed studio

This little place is bright, airy, high quality & well thought out renovated space as described in listing. Would stay here again. Location is quiet, despite being on block behind restaurants, shops & main road. I stayed here with my 17yo daughter spending a night. Lots of storage space & all you need in kitchen. Thanks A&L!

This property was close to the beach and within walking distance of most restaurants. There was grocery and liquor stores 1/2 block away. The bus stop was also half a block away. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils etc. The bed was comfortable. However, there was no heat. They had a space heater but it had a hard time taking off the chill. As a consequence there was a slight musty smell that lingered in the background. The patio was also quite small and only received sun shine in the middle of the day. Overall I was happy with this space and it was clean and comfortable. Communication with the hosts was exceptional

Perfect cure and comfortable

Walking distance to beach. Easy navigation on foot or by car to shopping. Quiet the majority of time. I had everything I needed to cook if I wanted or just heat up food. It was just perfect and I hope to come back.

Small apartment a few blocks from Windandsea Beach, about a 10 minute walk. There is no view of the beach from the apartment. There is a small patio with a BBQ, table and chairs. Owner was very responsive. The BBQ was not lighting, so we contacted the owner and she replaced the BBQ. There is a full kitchen but no dishwasher. Remember to bring shampoo, soap and laundry detergent since only a starter supply is provided. There is a carport with 1 parking space for the apartment, which was very convenient. You will need to remove your shoes upon entering and sweep the apartment at least once a day since the area a very fine sand that is easily tracked onto the floor. The apartment is a great value that has all the necessities.

Nice little place - excellent location with very quick walk to the beach! It has all the basics. It is very cozy, but we were not inside much. The bed leaves a lot to be desired - it is low to the ground and not very comfortable - could probably be remedied with a new mattress. It got very hot by evening even with the doors open - windows are not screened - but a couple of fans helped. Overall it was a nice little place and the location very good.
