Liling is a great hostess. She was very kind to me since the first day, taking me for a ride in the neighborhood and showing me all the good places to visit. The house is in a calm residential area.
There are a few things that are important to know: because of an agreement with the townhouse neighbor regarding late night noises, showers are not allowed after 9 pm (I was coming home from work late, so that was a bit of an issue for me); there are several spiders in the house (as expected for houses with gardens and plants around, like this one); there is some noise in the morning due to regular maintenance in the condo, so if you are a light sleeper, that's something to be aware of; and the kitchen is a bit messy, but bathroom and bedroom are clean and organized.
That being said, there are plenty of restaurants and shops at a 5 to 10-min walking distance, and Torrey Pines reserve and the beach are within a 10 to 15-min drive. The bedroom is private and the bathroom barely feels like shared. Liling is very thoughtful and will definitely make you feel welcome.
