Our search for last-minute accommodations for a weekend in San Diego led us to the downstairs bedroom at Melinda's home, just northwest of the city.
For a couple wanting a private room, the price was manageable and allowed us to avoid a hostel stay, with Taxi rides to various parts of the city ranging from $6 - $15.
Melinda offered a ride from the airport for a fee, and snacks and fruits were offered throughout the stay, should we want something from the kitchen.
The room itself was comfortable, with a cozy bed good light through the doors opening up toward the garden. As covered in other reviews, you will be able to hear the planes arriving and departing, so plan on earplugs or an early wakeup.
