The listing was a little less than what we expected. Everyone that worked there was really nice. There were many people coming and going during the day and night, but it was never noisy. This place definitely feels like a hostel more than a B&B. Overall, it was a place to rest our heads at night and a room to lock up our belongings from our roadtrip, which is what we needed. It is a no frills, easy-going shared community space. We had a few serious concerns regarding cleanliness that came up during our stay, but are handling them privately with Michael and are interested in hearing his response.

The bed and linens were super comfy. We stayed in the Lavender Room, which is definitely the most basic of the rooms that we saw, but it still met our needs. We loved that there was parking behind the house to get our car up off the street. Balboa Park is very close and great for running and exploring. We ended up having a great time exploring the neighborhood, which seems a little sketchy until you give it a chance. It's actually really safe, even at night walking back from the Gaslamp District.

The planes overhead are loud. There's no way around it, and we struggled with whether or not to include it in our review. It's loud. Even with the windows closed, it's highly audible. I sleep like a rock, but my partner is a lighter sleeper and was definitely up and down a few times in the night.
