Madeleine and Axel are a charming couple. They do their best to make you feel as if you were at home. They are very supportive and they help you anytime you need it. They also respect your privacy, but they keep their garden door open so that you can feel totally integrated with them, their family and friends. You can join them to have weekly dinner for a price and enjoy interesting topics of conversation. Axel is an outstanding cook.
The room is cosy, clean, and has the comfort you can need it. The backyard of the room is a calm place where you can cook on the barbecue, read, work or simply take your time.
The location is great, especially if you are studying or working at UCSD or you want to be close to La Jolla Shore. Axel can lend you a mountain bike, which can be very useful to reach the UCSD in 10-15 mins, go down to the beach or go shopping at the closest mall.
The best and fast way to move around the city sometimes is by car. If you are not a driver and you can not always afford to call for a Lyft, you have to have some patience and enjoy walking. The closest bus stop is 15 mins walk. Walking in such weather was a healthy pleasure to me.
