Mercy provides two comfortable beds with nice linens in separate bedrooms. There is a living room that 's comfortable and homey, too. Visitors should bring or plan to buy their own food for every meal, even breakfast. There is a coffee machine and I think a kettle for boiling water for tea -- that's pretty much it. You can drive to a nearby Ralph's market and a Starbucks, and there are lots of eateries near enough. Mercy shares the kitchen, which is super clean, and allows use of her pretty dishes, which makes eating in a pleasure. The patio/garden is great and eating out there was a really nice. There is a gigantic condo building next to Mercy's place and there are two alleys that intersect outside the bedroom. We were in San Diego on a holiday weekend and there was a fair amount of street noise until late at night. We used the fan in the bedroom closest to the alleys and it drowned out the worst of the noise. The last night we were there the holiday was over and it was a LOT quieter. Just fyi. Mercy herself is a cheerful, welcoming lady.
