The garden room was cute and set up amongst a wonderful garden in the middle of San Diego. There are multiple "units" at this location that all share a common full bath. The garden room did have a macerator toilet and a sink in the room. Upon arriving to the house, we were greeted by a staff member and given a tour. The Victorian home was fun to look around. After taking us through the home, the staff member took us outside where multiple individual rooms were scattered throughout a green, luscious garden with multiple seating areas. She took us to our room and opened the door. The first thing I noticed was the smell of nursing home and sewage that greeted us. I didn't say anything, wondering if the room just needed aired out as the home is so old. The smell persisted throughout the night and made the stay rather unpleasant. Upon getting into bed, we discovered a large hair clump between the sheets. I do believe the sheets had been washed, but we were already feeling a little dirty because of the smell and that just added to the feeling. The bed was comfortable and the plug in fan did a good job keeping the room cool. The next morning, we enjoyed a complimentary cup of coffee out in the gardens before leaving. If the listing had felt clean and the price had been 25%-50% less I would be willing to return, but I do feel that the listing is overpriced for a community-style arrangement, a shared shower, and small rooms. (I do enjoy such environments, but not when I'm paying what I would be at some hotels.)
We did enjoy the location as it was within walking distance to Little Italy and the water, however, we will not be returning due to the concerns for cleanliness and the opinion that it's overpriced for what it is.
