So I had to get an Air BnB because I was waiting on my apartment to become available, I’ve lived in this town for 6 years. I don’t mind the neighborhood even as a single woman, the parking was gated and I felt safe. Yes, there are barking dogs but I slept so quietly. The place was super clean and cute. It was nice to hear the rain storm. I would totally recommend it to anyone needing a quick stay in San Diego. It’s not near tourists places but it does only cost $7 for a trip downtown! And the host had bikes and a great selection of books and tips to explore San Diego.
