Ellan's place is bright and inviting in a lovely location right across the road from a nice swimming beach, especially if you like calm water. The beach is not one for surfers as there were no waves. The studio has limited facilities for meal preparation so expect to dine out at one of the many cafes that are within easy walking distance where you will be spoilt for choice of style of cuisine. The beach is right across the road where you can swim in the calm waters of Mission Bay. It is a very pretty location. The weather was bright, sunny and warm in March when we were there. Very pleasant indeed.
