Maryam was a great and friendly host. Her house is in a very convenient location, and close to UCSD and affiliated institutions. It was great for me to temporarily stay at her house as I started my new job in La Jolla and figured out a more longer-term apartment. The room was reasonably priced and clean, and the house had all basic amenities. My only minor issue was with the house rules - I feel they were at times a bit too restrictive.
