I really enjoyed my stay here!! I felt safe as a single female in the neighborhood and at the stay. The location is incredible- so close to the beach, restaurants, and bus stops (pretty easy to get to/from the airport on public transport). The place was basic and had everything I needed. I spent most of my time out enjoying SD so I mostly needed a place to shower and sleep comfortably. This was perfect, great value, and safe. The check in instructions were clear and the place was easy to find. I would definitely stay here again if I visit SD again. It got a little chilly at night (in December) but there was a space heater and extra blanket which was perfect. If you need total darkness to sleep, or don't want to wake up with the sun, this place isn't for you. There are uncovered skylights above the bed providing lots of natural light (which I loved, but might not be for everyone). I loved the tiki themed decorations- thought it was so fun!
