It is definitely a safe place (coming from a single young woman staying there alone). Only problem for me was the shower was kind of confusing, and parking is truly horrible in the area. It is VERY hard to find a parking spot at night. By no means is this the owner’s fault, just the way it is being beachside in California. Lots of close bus stops though, if that’s your preferred mode of transportation. Great value for the location! Definitely recommend this location!
