Helen's room was exactly as described, bright and airy. From the moment I arrived, Helen made me feel welcome. And her cat Teaser made fast friends with me.
I was provided a shelf in the fridge for my own food, and was also provided a key for when our paths crossed.
Helen's community does not feel like she live in the middle of San Diego. Her unit is an end one, so her outside seating area is surrounded by trees filled with the sounds of birds.
The washroom is shared, but it was never a problem. And she provides the softest bath towels I have ever encountered.
Helen is lovely, and easy to have a conversation with.
If I am ever in the San Diego area again by myself, I wouldn't hesitate to stay with her.
