Gail's place is in a quiet but convenient location in Ocean Beach. You can walk to the beach and all that Newport Ave. has in about 15 mins. The place small but is just as described. The tiny bathroom might be tricky if you're a larger person, although my boyfriend and I had no issues. It was cold and rainy while we were here in San Diego and Gail had provided a space heater for the room so that was nice. For a short stay in Ocean Beach, Gail's place is great.
