Helen's place is great! And Helen is a wonderful host. I went to San Diego for a conference at the Town and Country nearby. The location worked well for me to go back and forth easily. Also, as a solo traveler, this was a perfect option for me. I felt safe, and the room/house is very clean and welcoming. Helen offered tips on how to get around town and what I should be sure to see while in San Diego for a short time. If I am in the area by myself again, I will definitely request to stay here.
