If you’re a no fuss traveler that is looking for a simple and budget friendly place to crash in San Diego, this is the spot for you! I will start by saying the room is VERY small, but I was impressed with the effective use of space. All of the essentials that you might expect at an Airbnb are present which was a huge plus! The bed was comfy and the place itself is located in a quiet neighborhood tucked away from some of the busy bars nearby which was perfect for my wife and I. At the same time it was extremely conveniently located and was within walking distance from some local nightlife and restaurants. Oh did I mention the outdoor patio area? It was cute and even comes with a tree that produces fresh oranges!
Back to the interior. The room itself did have a slight smell to it, kind of like old furniture. It definitely isn’t a deal breaker and the host provided room spray as well. Just something to be aware of if you’re more sensitive to that type of thing.
The biggest con for this spot is the size of the bathroom. It’s literally standing room for one person only. If you’re a heavy set person, you may find the bathroom a bit uncomfortable or impractical to use easily. For myself, it wasn’t ideal but since I was just looking for an affordable place to sleep and refresh, I really couldn’t complain.
Overall, if you consider your lodging standards to be high maintenance or you are searching for a luxurious and comfortable stay this probably isn’t the spot for you. However I would definitely recommend this to the thrifty traveler or couple who is looking for a convenient spot to crash in SD with all the essentials and a little charm. You will probably be spending most of your time exploring the city so don’t get too hung up on the details. This is a great spot for a 1-2 night stay!
