Great place to have as a home base for a San Diego visit! It's not really a place to hang out, but why would you be hanging out there anyways when you're in an amazing city with so many things to do! The "shared" shower felt totally private, so don't let that concern you. Great walkability to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Loved burritos at Mike's and coffee at the Template. Farmer's market on Wednesdays is awesome too!
