I was in San Diego for two weeks for work. My original Airbnb cancelled last minute. I contacted Maria and she quickly responded. I was a apprehensive booking a hostel for a work trip, but my fears were quickly squashed at Maria’s Gaslamp Hostel. I could not have been more comfortable. The place was well staffed with unbelievably friendly staff and well cleaned and maintained. The place had a perfect balance of being professional yet was friendly and warm. For a person that is on the road over 250 days a year, it felt good to come back to a place with this type of atmosphere. The location is perfect. Easy access to anything you need. I will be making this my place for future San Diego trips. I highly recommend it.
