Raphael’s place is a perfect location for those who are looking for a room close to Little Italy and downtown San Diego. It is not the largest space but is well equipped (think NYC studio). The room is for 2 people to sleep and get ready to go out. Be prepared to search for parking and know that the complex resides at the top of a hill for those who aren’t used to parking and walking a block or two. The walls are a little thin and the door has about a 2” opening at the bottom that you can see light from the hallway. The shower is a little small (2’x2’) but the water pressure is good and plenty of hot water. Overall, for the price it is worth it. I’d probably stay at a hotel next time just to know I could have a parking spot close to my room.
