What an unique and eclectic place to stay. The shower in the tree was fun.. but be aware that the plumbing is backwards... when you first turn on the water, it is hot and the further you rotate, the colder it gets. Once we figured this out, the outdoor shower was fantastic. Loved the decor and all the extended little balconies. The Brazilian Pepper Tree is beautiful and really adds the charm to the treehouse. If you must have total quiet to sleep, then this is not the place for you. I slept with the prvided earplugs (soft and comfortable) to lessen the constant noise from the freeway. And yes, jets fly diectly over this house, but their brief, powerful sound was kind if cool. They run from 6:25 am to about 10:30 pm. This place is more like an international hostel with 8 plus different rooms/spaces to rent. We met travelers from all over the world. You have access to all the common living areas and multiple bathrooms. There is a large, well stocked kitchen if you wish to cook. Within walking distance to Little Italy and the pier with all it has to offer. We had a great time here and would love to stay again the next time we visit San Diego.
