We had a pretty long stay at this apartment (1 month) and in general were happy with the place! The furniture is comfortable, it is spacious, and it is a 9 minute drive from UCSD where we were working. The host was super responsive and checked in to make sure we were comfortable.
The kitchen appliances are a bit bare-bones which makes it tough to do any complex cooking, but the absolute basics are there (pots, pans, silverware, dishes). UTC in general is not the most exciting area, but it is close to the highway which makes it easily accessible to most of what San Diego has to offer. There is also a park nearby (maybe a quarter mile away) which was nice for working out.
