I chose a private room at Cathys place because I am moving to the San Diego area for pursuit of a new career. It’s in a semi private community apartment complex that is right along MTS busses 955 and 12 , both of which can connect you to trolley lines to explore the greater San Diego area. Groceries and restaurants and parks are within walking distance , and you’ll get a chance to meet other people who are traveling , working , and studying. Daily cleaning service comes to keep it neat and tidy (thanks Adriana) . It’s a great way to check out a new place on a budget .
