This place is a gem! I decided to make a last minute trip to San Diego and quickly snatched this hostel up. The location is amazing, there are a lot of restaurants that are walking distance. The hostel itself is extremely beautiful, art all over the walls, vibrant colors, great decor, very different. My check in process was smooth as well! My one and only concern is the parking, (i wouldn't recommend driving) there is no free parking available..anywhere, which sucks. There is a place to park your car over-night across the street though. Overall, i would highly recommend staying here. What a unique experience!
