Carl's place was located in a family-friendly neighborhood of San Diego. The way the place is described online is very accurate. I was looking for something affordable in a safe place, and that's what I got. This place is for somebody that just needs a place to sleep for the night, nothing more. That's exactly what I was looking for and I got it. Don't expect WiFi, plush amenities, or Cable TV. It's a room with a comfy bed, a hot shower, and plenty of street parking. He explains all of that on the ad, so I'm not sure why some people are shocked in the reviews. It does get very warm in the house during the day, but it was pleasant at night. I wasn't really around during the day, so it was a non-issue. Carl greeted me when I got there and stayed out of my business, which I really appreciated. Although the front door isn't locked, he gives you a key to your room and that does have a lock. I felt the neighborhood was safe and wasn't worried about theft. Close to the Orange Trolley line, which I used a lot. If you have a car, there's a park & ride at the nearby trolley stations. I would likely stay here again, but for short periods at a time. Thanks, Carl!
