I absolutely loved Kate's place. I was on exchange working in La Jolla for 3 months, and this was the perfect spot for me. The common spaces, including kitchen and living room(s) are large, welcoming, and quiet, so guests can work and prepare light meals comfortably. The house is in a quiet safe residential neighbourhood, close to a national park for runners and hikers like me that enjoy getting their morning workouts in. The house is also in a very central location, and it is very easy to get around with a car. The location is also ideal even for those without a car if commuting to UCSD, as there is a bus stop nearby that takes you straight to the university. The room was cozy and filled all of my needs. It is a "busy" household as there are six bedrooms, but I found that guests were overall very respectful and it was really nice to meet people from around the country and world. I cannot rave enough about the great aura of this place! Definitely highly recommend! Thank you for everything Katie!!
