Ellen's place provided us the perfect setup for an amazing weekend. Her place was amazingly spacious - the 6 beds fit our whole group extremely comfortably! All the rooms including the bathrooms were sparkling clean, and a set of towels were prepared for each of us ahead of time. The house's decor was also both modern and quaint - I greatly enjoyed the time we spent inside! Ellen herself was extremely responsive to all our queries both before and during our stay. She really set herself apart amongst all hosts I've interacted with!
The location in Mira Mesa was also a huge plus. You could even walk walk to the nearby strip mall where there's bountiful food options (including amazing SD traditions Vallartas and El Patron) and just one block away from the nearby 15 Freeway
