"Okay, this Inn needs to freshen up-carpet, sofa, bathtub all a bit shabby. But our room was spacious and...you stay here for the LOCATION! You cross the street and you're at the beach. You go next door and you're at the Modern Art Museum. Walk down the street and you have an array of restaurants ( and 31 Flavors ice cream)."

"Gray and I had an exceptional stay here — one of the cleanest places we’ve ever booked. Everything was spotless and beautifully kept from the moment we arrived. The whole property felt elegant and thoughtfully put together, and the location couldn’t have been better, with great shops close by and the beach just a short walk away. We couldn’t fault a thing and would happily return. Highly recommended!”Best wishes and congrats!!Wolf"

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!"
