California experience
A less expensive alternative to hotels, this place was friendly, not especially clean, and had a diverse client base. The kitchen was large and had space for your food. Pleasant outdoor seating areas. They organized a few group events that were fun. Don’t rely on any off-street parking, but it’s not too hard to find a spot in this residential neighborhood. Public transportation (bus) not very convenient but downtown not far if you have a bicycle.

This place was a lucky find. Very friendly community, clean and colorful, and hospitable. Great for a first visit to the city. Close to airport too. Staff was responsive and helpful. Please be aware that this is a hostel with shared rooms and bathrooms, but it is a delightful spot for the single traveler.

Kemal, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and I felt very safe. There are a number of rules but all meant to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and the rooms as well. Great little pool and jacuzzi. Surrounding area is a little slow but a quick drive to balboa park and cheap Uber to downtown SD. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.
Shannon, 1-night trip

Our stay was nothing less than beautiful. We had a nice view from our room, away from everything yet still right by everything you would want or need to see when visiting San Diego.
