My husband and I (70+) stayed at this intimate little cottage two weeks, it works. Picturesque neighborhood on way to beach of quaint historic cottages with oval brass plaques designating year built —30s, ‘40s, with original owner names.
This home is newer, with above-average decor and appliances, kitchen including baking items, lots of pots/pans & glassware, appreciated. Excellent text communication w/owner, we never met. I requested an electric tea kettle & a toaster, both next day delivery via Amazon.
We walked everywhere: La Jolla Village & Cove, grocery store, gelato, sea lions, sunsets. We attended 3 concerts (2 free) at Athenaeum, a Comedy Store show, dined Nine-Ten twice & casual The Promiscuous Fork, favorites. We did drive to Torrey Pines Gliderport to watch the soaring over-the cliff gliders. The nearby public library has a huge section of for-sale good books. Farmer’s Market Sunday morns is local high-end kitchen-crafted gourmet foods, treats, take-home soups, potstickers, and live music, plenty of tables & chairs, all in the sunshine.
As reviewers have mentioned this is located on a busy street and steady traffic noise simply unavoidable, weekend evenings esp.
We enjoyed our two weeks and now have many good memories of staying in this special well-cared-for cottage in the Bird Rock neighborhood.
