John's place is a clean and small hotel-like room that is a great stay for tourists. It's located within walking distance to downtown and right next to Balboa Park. Other reviews say walls are thin, but this unit is on the top (second) floor and at the end of the hallway so it didn't really impact me. If there is noise, some would be coming from construction across the street but they start at a reasonable time of 9-10am weekdays.
The laundry room is in the backyard and it is operated with quarters and bring your own detergent (which I got from a discount store a few blocks away for 99¢). The dedicated workspace is a small coffee table and two stools if you're looking to get some work done. This is a great stay for my first time in San Diego 👍
