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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect location!

Chose this place for my honeymoon stay! It was wonderfully located! A walk from arguably the most beautiful beach in La Jolla (Windansea), extremely close to all the best food places, and a quick drive into San Diego and the rest of La Jolla! Super easy to access and so so clean! 100% recommend to anybody! I could see myself staying here again in the future. My husband and I loved it!

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!

Great for 10 day work trip

The location is great -- within a few blocks of Windnsea beach and even downtown La Jolla. The construction next door was pretty loud, starting pretty early even on Saturday. I was working a lot of the time I was there though and thought this space was perfect! Good wifi and parking.
