I’m truly happy to host you in sunny San Diego. Whether you’re here for work or a getaway, I hope my cozy rooms and central Mira Mesa location (92126), near UCSD, Qualcomm, Illumina, and biotech hubs, feel like a home away from home. I’ve lived here since 1992, grew up in Russia, and spent over 20 years at a local university as a lab manager. Now, after retiring, I enjoy running my own property care business and creating comfortable, well-cared spaces for guests. Check my profile for links
