Really enjoyed my stay at Alessandro’s. Conveniently located North of Balboa Park in Hillcrest. Really spacious private room with a private bathroom stocked with toiletries. Alessandro was a great host as he always communicated with me at the start and through out my stay with anything I needed. He even went out of his way to make a complete list of breweries around San Diego and gave us his best recommendations which I enjoyed. The shared common area was great as well but I didn’t end up using it as I was out and about most of the day. Parking is not that much of a hassle since the area is not as crowded as downtown, which is only a 4 min drive away. Great location if you’re looking to explore not only downtown but also other areas around San Diego.
