For an economical visit to San Diego, this is a great spot. The location is easily within walking distance of Balboa Park and Little Italy, I also walked downtown and to the waterfront without a problem. For solo travelers, I felt safe walking in the neighborhood at night, although be aware there may be some people loitering under the I5 overpasses if you head that way. Keep in mind this location is directly under the flight path for the airport and you will definitely hear the planes, but I found it a reasonable trade off for the price and location (plus the flights are limited from about 11 pm-7 am). Thanks, Michael and Ashley!
