At no fault to the host, similar to other reviews, this is not a good area of the city at all. There is a grocery store directly across from the place and each night we stayed (5 nights) there were homeless people drugged out and yelling at us walking into our stay between 9pm-midnight. The room itself is very nice and clean but if coming to San Diego again, I would not stay in this area or 5 blocks in any direction. Hosts were accommodating with early check-in!
