My 5-days-stay in this room was my first experience in San Diego. All in all, it is a nice place but there are two things you should know before booking this room.

Let me begin by stating the positive aspects. The room is exactly as in the pictures. The Wifi is stable and fast. The room has a fridge and its own bathroom. There is a sink directly next to the bed as shown in the pictures. The is a well-functioning air conditioning. Also, Bill and Jovan (I never met Jovan, but he left a welcome message for me in the room, so I guess he is also managing this place) provided me with two bottles of water and a few snacks and tea, which was very pleasant after a long journey. The location is central - you can walk to everything in downtown and even to the Balboa park (which you should definitely do, by the way. This park is very impressive).

Now about those two things you should know. First, the room is on the ground floor - you can see the windows in the pictures, it's next to the entrance door to the right. This means that people are walking right in front of the windows. So if you like to let the sun into the room by opening the blinds but don't like to be exposed to all people passing, you will have to choose one.

Second, there is a construction site on the very same intersection of this building. In fact, the machines are operating 20-30 meters from the windows. Consequently, it is very noisy all day long (except in the evening). Very early in the morning, the work starts again and is mostly so loud (sledgehammer, construction cranes, etc) that sleep is impossible even with ear protection. This construction site seemed to be in its very beginnings during my stay, so I guess it will take a while until it is finished. If you value a good night sleep, I suggest you ask Bill about the progress of that construction site before booking.

On the third day of my stay, I expressed my discomfort with this situation but my message remained unanswered. Surely, there is nothing Bill (or Jovan) can do about the noise, but I think this information should be given to the people who book the room in advance. Aside from that, this is a nice room in a very good location! :)
