My fiancé and I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here! We will 100% be staying here again when we go back to San Diego.
The space felt safe with a key pad and deadbolt on each private bedroom and the front door. We had no issues with safety in the area the house in located. As others have also said, there are homeless folks that will camp out on the side walks/under overpasses near the house, but we never had any issues with this. We took ubers in the evenings, and were able to walk during the day. Ubers were reasonably priced to get throughout most of sand Diego.
As for the hostel itself, the bedroom, bathrooms, and kitchen were very clean. A staff member was there cleaning when we arrived, and was very kind and helpful as we were getting settled. There were others staying there at the same time we were, and while we occasionally heard them entering the building, it was extremely quiet for the entirety of our stay. Additionally, I’m not sure how many people were staying there but the building has 8 room and 4 bathrooms and there was never a wait to use the showers or toilets. On top of everything, you couldn’t beat the cost of this place for the quality of stay that we had. It was exactly what we needed and wanted from our time in San Diego.
Shanna is awesome as well! She promptly communicated with us prior to and throughout our time in San Diego! She sent a list of recommendations which were extremely helpful in finding affordable and fun things to do and places to eat during our trip!
