Eds place is an affordable, comfortable place to stay. It's well suited to the person who just needs a place to sleep and shower...it's not a place to lounge in the sun or grill steaks, or watch the sunset, but it is a perfectly functional apartment and Ed is a hospitable landlord. It is close to the ocean as well as all the restaurants and shops of La Jolla village. The neighbors are quiet and respectful, but you do have to be a dog lover. The balcony area would be a cool, shady place to sit and relax on a hot day.
