It’s not like a usual hostel. You have complete privacy (your own room with a TV) and there were plenty of common bathrooms. The only thing I faced was I had forgotten a toothpaste and some daily use items but those were not available there. Except that I think it’s a perfect way of saving money in SD. You won’t have a luxurious stay but safer and more private for a hostel. Also, I was trying to figure out the locks and the host did not response for 1 day so the host can do better in terms of responding timely.
