Ed's place is Great if your goal, like ours, was to be close to a swimming beach. If you have accessibility or mobility constraints, it could be difficult as it is located on an hill and has steps. The shower is fabulous, the fans are just fine and no a.c. is needed. My daughter and I felt very safe in the unit and the neighborhood. Ed was quick to respond when I had a tv question and the immediate neighbors are friendly but in no way too friendly, a nice mix. Without a car, some things were a bit too far for walking (my mobility is a bit limited) and we used scooters but the parking for them isnt right there nearby. Again, this is just a point if walking for an extended time is a problem. We wanted to be near the beach in La Jolla and this studio allowed us to achieve that goal safely and comfortably.
