we love encinitas and this apartment is perfect for a week or two stay. Our only issue was that we couldn't get the washing machine to work and the host did not try to get it working.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jul, 2026
This guest didn't inform us about the washing machine not working. I contacted our appliance repairman as soon as I saw this comment, and he is coming today to fix the problem. We always try our best to make any necessary repairs immediately.

We enjoyed our month long stay in Joe’s apartment. The location couldn’t be better. We walked everywhere. Initial minor issues were quickly addressed & resolved. The shower was great. In situ washer & dryer was a huge plus. Upgrades to kitchen supplies & furnishings would be a welcome improvement but overall a very satisfying stay.
