Lori’s place is great, it’s very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. It’s in a quiet area but 15 mins max to hiking, many beach and restaurants. The laundry service was also great.

Your dream stay in LaJolla/San Diego begins here.

A beautiful Suite looking down over LaJolla and SanDiego with outstanding views of the area. Quiet secluded neighborhood and located close to most of the popular attractions in this area. Lori, the property manager was very friendly and was there for us for every need or questions that we had. She was the best! We highly recommend!
