This was an ideal stay for doing research at UCSD! It is only a five minute walk to campus, plus easy access to the beach and nature areas for evening and weekends walks: 15 min walk to Black's Beach (access point on La Jolla Farms Rd), 30 min walk north to Gliderport, or 30 min south to Scripps Beach. We were there for a week and managed to avoid renting a car entirely by taking advantage of public transportation (bus 30 is just two minutes away and travels along the coast, and there are express buses from campus to the downtown area). The space itself was perfect: exactly as shown in the pictures and sparkling clean! Sandra greeted us with a bottle of wine and fresh fruit, which was a lovely welcome after a long flight. All in all I can't recommend Elvera's place more and would happily stay here again if the chance arises.
