Elvera is an amazing host, full of patience and generosity. She responded quickly to all my messages and was always helpful assisting me in person for anything I needed. I appreciate that I did not arrive to an empty pantry and her offer to drive to the market.
Her place is gorgeous and for my job at UCSD it was perfectly located: a short walk to my office. My colleagues could not believe I had found such a place! San Diego is not a walkable city, but there is a bus station right at the corner and the beach is also at walking distance (even though the way back is uphill). Do not miss those sunsets!!
The apartment is full of windows, including a gorgeous view of the sea. Even though it contains only the basics (an electric stove, a fridge and a microwave oven, a coffee machine and an electric teapot) I cooked easily and ate everyday at the place. The water in the shower is hot and has good pressure. The place is very clean and cozy. I consider myself fortunate for having stayed here.
