If you want a quiet place, a supremely responsive host, and a spot located close to the University as well as parks West (e.g., Anza B. Is only a two hour drive West whereas coming from SD with traffic it would likely be longer): then Norm’s spot is it! No noise at all overnight (e.g., think of what it may be like sleeping in a library), kitchen well set up with a huge fridge, good bed, comfy couch, good WiFi, and within a 5 minute drive is a Trader Joe’s, good restaurants, and other shops for stocking up or getting daily things for travel and sightseeing. The house sits on a hillside and Norm has an elevator for those who may have trouble with the steep stairs. Good spot and would stay here again if I’m back in the region!
