Location is accessible to many parts of downtown San Diego--a block off of a bus route, a few blocks away from the trolley, and is on a bike route. The street itself isn't the best. As others mentioned, it's noisy...SO noisy. I thought my first night (a Thursday) was bad, and then the weekend hit. There's a club a few doors down and this particular street seemed like a favorite for drivers to either (A) cruise down slowly with their music blasting or (B) speed down in cars without mufflers. As an example, on more than a few occasions, a car was so loud it made other car alarms go off. That was...neat. Suffice it to say, earplugs were a must, but really didn't cut it. I'm also glad I brought an eye mask, because there's a massive street light literally right in front of the window, so it was never dark in the room. If this were my space, I'd make sure the windows could seal better to keep the sound out and I'd invest in some blackout curtains. The building also smelled a little musty, but the room itself was pretty good. I appreciated the fridge (which I think runs a little too cold and froze a few things but that was okay) and microwave. There were multiple temperature control devices (fan/window unit/radiator for colder months). Check-in process was extremely easy with very clear instructions. The host was accessible when needed (they replaced the fan remote battery while I was there). The bed was quite comfortable, and the decor was cute. Bring bottled water unless you're comfortable drinking from the old pipes in the bathroom.
