I attended a conference in downtown San Diego, and this place was great for my purpose of visit there. You can ride a bus (only $2.5) to the downtown right in front of the house, and it only takes 25 minutes to the Convention Center. The kitchen and bathroom should be shared by other guests, but for me it was no problem because I left early in the morning and came back late at night. But if you need to spend lots of time at the room and if other rooms are full booked, it would be not that comfortable to stay there because the living room and kitchen are not big enough for many people. Overall, it was great for me.
