Carl was quick to respond to our last-minute and same-day request for a room. The place is good value if you are simply looking for a safe place to shower and sleep in San Diego. which is exactly what we were looking for, but I would not recommend the place if you are looking to use the kitchen (which is listed in the amenities), as this area is unfinished. The room was tidy and the wifi worked well. Carl forgot to put the bedding on the bed before we came, but promptly brought in bedding when he realized the mistake and also was prompt in providing things like towels via our request. Because we only had a one-night stay, we were not given keys. We didn't mind this, but as we were leaving, the door was bolted shut from the inside and we were locked inside. During that time, we were unable to get ahold of him to let us out. Luckily, we were able to make it to the airport in time since the sliding glass back door was open. The back entrance seemed to be getting renovated, so we were hesitant to leave through the back, but we ended up doing this since we couldn't get a hold of Carl. Carl noted that he left the front door open for us, but one of the tenants might have locked the door before we left. Despite this minor hiccup, I would recommend... just remember to ask for the key if you need to leave in the morning!
