I had a great time staying with Helen! Her accommodations were exactly as described & pictured, plus Helen is a truly hospitable host and great company (and very responsive to any questions before and during my stay). Comfortable bed and great in-room table/work space. Helen was flexible with my arrival and departure, allowing me to stop by and drop off my bags on the early side my first day and store my bags until the late afternoon on the day of my departure. It was also so nice to have morning coffee (or delicious English tea!) and bagels available for breakfast. The home is very clean, quiet, and felt so comfortable. Teeza (sp?), Helen's personable cat, was a favorite bonus as well! I was in town for a conference at USD, which was a quick 20 minute walk down the road (or easy bus ride) -- this would be a great option for anyone else visiting the university, or anyone looking for a comfortable and quiet place to stay centrally located to downtown, Old Town, Balboa Park, beaches, and other gems that San Diego has to offer! Using the "pool" option on Uber, it was only a $5 ride for me to both Mission Beach and the airport, but otherwise I took convenient public transportation to get around (though it does require some time). I'll definitely consider Helen's Airbnb in the future should I find myself traveling solo to San Diego!
