The homeless community is large but respectful.
But...the location is great.
The Gaslamp Quarter is an easy 10min walk down F St.
The Bay is a comfortable 30min walk.
Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo are also walkable but uphill. However, public transport and ride-sharing is available if you're not willing to make the trek.
