Silka's place was perfect for my extra night in San Diego. The room is very small--perfect for one and with enough space for a cozy two. Tiny, private bathroom with everything you need attached. Silka has thought of every little detail you might need for a comfortable stay, from the right amount of glassware to a dispenser of fresh water, to a blow dryer and ample towels. Access to beach towels and sand chairs right there. Private entrance was easy to access; I never saw my hosts, but they were excellent with communication and very thoughtful.
The neighborhood and Ocean Beach were another joy. Ocean Beach is about a 4-5 block walk; the pier another 6-8 blocks. The area is home to several bars and restaurants (lots of sushi!), coffee shops, tattoo parlors, antique stores, clothing botiques, and even a hostel. On Sunday morning, I walked down, got a coffee, walked to the pier to watch a ton surfers and fisher-people, and check it all out. A youthful urban area, it was bouncing at night, and I was cautious as a single woman, but felt very safe. In the day, it was a great, funky neighborhood to explore and enjoy. Would come back to the area and Silka's place again, no question!
