We highly recommend staying at the Zen Den! Jose was a great host and the Zen Den was the perfect place to stay for our San Diego trip! Jose responded super quick to the booking request (no need for instant booking tool) and got us set up with instructions right away. He was also readily available via phone in case we had any problems finding anything. The neighborhood was great and just on the outskirts of the downtown area & also only 10 mins or so from the harbor/beach activities. There was also TONS of street parking (we're from LA so parking is a hot commodity). The area felt really safe and was overall very quiet, you can easily walk around with no issues. The Zen Den itself is also fantastic and had everything we needed for our trip. Jose left soaps, towels, dishes, and all the essentials. The filtered water machine was an added bonus too. We didn't use the air conditioner a lot, but it made a big difference when we did. A lot of listings on Airbnb in the San Diego don't have A/C and will say "you don't need it" - but we recommend a place that has it. If you want a place to stay where you can actually relax but also be very close to all of San Diego's activities, the Zen Den is perfect. Overall very awesome experience at the Zen Den and in San Diego!
