Raphel was a great host and his place was perfect! It's a small room with a bathroom and kitchenette, so it's best for 1-2 people who plan on using it mostly just for a place to sleep during a short stay. Good location, about a 15 minute walk to Little Italy or Gaslamp (although I didn't realize just how hilly San Diego was!) or a quick ride to anywhere else. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe in the neighborhood. Parking was way easier than expected and most days I was able to get a spot right around the corner from the building. There was a heat wave during my stay but the A/C and ceiling fan worked surprisingly well to keep the room cool. My only complaint would be that the bathroom did have a bit of a mildew-y smell to it, but other than that it was very clean and the shower was great. I'd definitely stay here again!
