I spent my first days in SD at Kate's place and it was a great stay. She communicated well with me during my time at her place. She gave me extra towels for the beach, and made sure I was OK at all times. The room I got was clean and spacious with a desk, closet and a dresser. The bathroom is shared with a bunch of people but I had no problems to use it or to shower. The housemates are nice and kind. It is a little far from PB and Downtown but it was easy to get by public transportation ( I tried it) and a cheap Uber ride. Over all it was great and I would stay there again. It's a great value! Thank you Kate!
