Marife’s place is beautiful, stylish, and clean. The neighborhood feels very safe and I never felt uncomfortable walking around late at night after work. Marife is very sweet and always made sure to check in on me to ensure I had everything I needed and that things were going well. The family made me feel welcome.
The area has plenty of food and stores—everything you need to live is close by. It is a drive to get to some of San Diego’s main attractions and more popular areas (the neighborhood is a very standalone area), but I didn’t mind the drive at all.
The walls are thin so it’s easy to hear noise made by the other guest or the family, which was fine for me since I used it as a home base for commuting to work. But probably not the best if you’re a light sleeper or want quiet in the early mornings.
Overall, wonderful experience!
