I stayed at Kate's place for a month and was very very satisfied with the room and overall space, she is very friendly and forthcoming. Checking in and out was smooth. Room B, even without a window, was very cozy, with a comfy bed and with enough space where to put my stuff. Even if there were other guests, I never had to wait for the bathroom [and there are two bathrooms available]. There are two buses quite close [41 & 44], easy to get to UCSD, UTC shopping mall and downtown. In a short walking distance there were grocery stores, liquor store, Starbucks and couple of food places. Famous Convoy street is also very close. Totally recommend!
