The Property Location is awesome.The staff is very cooperative and helpful especially Mr. Mark who gave us the initial briefing about the hostel and its facilities.I enjoyed my stay over there , made new friends and had a healthy interaction with other hostel mates.The Ocean beach is not that much far away from there.You can have soft drinks and other snacks from the vending machine in the hostel at an affordable cost of 1 dollar.

The staff at reception was caring and helpful, specially Cynthia and Lulu. I enjoyed the free bikes a lot, I used them twice a day to excersise and get rid of the jetlag. Location is wonderful. Comfotable bed, good shower and outstanding towells (as they brag). Plenty of USB sockets around the room.

The location was great! We were always 15 min or less from everywhere we wanted to go! This condo is perfect for wheelchair users, the bathroom is very spacious, doorways wide enough for wheelchair to fit through. This condo was nice and clean and very tastefully decorated. Indoor parking was nice. People in the building were friendly. Highly recommend!!!

Good apartment, walking distance from convention center with parking place and very clean!! I am allergic to dust and I did not have any issue staying for five days there. There is everything you need, towels, soap, washing machine and dryer. Felt like home away from home :) The street is noisy at night but it did not bother me and earplugs are provided for the ones who need it :)

I stayed for 9 nights. The apartment has everything I need: close to the convention center, a nice kitchen, washer and dryer, a comfy living and dining area. Ben and Mayra are super responsive. They take care of every detail. At departure, they even arrange someone to take my two pieces of luggage down the stairway. The stairway is a bit difficult for me to carry luggage myself, but sweet thoughtful landlords solve the problem. I saw people mention noises. I come during the low season, the apartment is in fact very quiet. One small thing is the bedroom doesn't have a window. On the positive side, you can get a good night sleep as no light will wake you up. I like the apartment and San Diego a lot!
