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.

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.

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

The pictures made the rental look larger ... it truly is about 170 sq. ft.Upgrading the mattress and pillows would be helpful.Overall, it's workable as a place to stay and make your meals if you don't want to eat out all the time. However, you'll be eating while seating on the couch or standing.It has a nice location, a short walk to a beach, and a good launching point to all the sites in La Jolla, San Diego and beyond.

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.
