This is a good spot for the solo or couple traveler(s) who are looking for a base while visiting San Diego. It’s got the basic necessities plus some good amenities: fully appointed kitchen with a gas stove, private bathroom, and a mini fridge in your room stocked with drinks and snacks. You can cook every meal here, or have a spot to keep your leftovers from eating out every night (and some good spots to eat at in the area). Brandon was a super chill host, very quick to respond and go out of his way to help. Very light sleepers may have some trouble here, but not from the traffic noise. It was actually surprising how little I heard from the nearby highway and fire station, and I kept the window open most nights. I’m used to traffic noise from living in a city and this was quieter than my home. But you can hear some noise from neighbors and it may be enough to disrupt light sleepers, so pack ear plugs if that’s you. There’s no air conditioning, so keeping the window open may be a necessity. Between a fan in the room and cracking the window, the room was perfectly comfortable in mid-summer, and it felt safe enough in that area to sleep with an open window. Overall I was happy to stay here and felt it was a great value compared to other options in the area. It’s an easy drive into downtown, or the park nearby, or you can stay in the neighborhood and have plenty to explore.
