I enjoyed my stay here. The staff was helpful and a kind person. The overall vibe, generally, is similar to a quiet independent small coliving you might stay at while traveling abroad. Co-ed, and the community there felt safe/trustworthy generally; I had no concerns leaving my valuables in my bunk while out on the town.

A couple of notes that others may find helpful, comparing to what you'd typically expect from colivings, if you're considering staying here:

- The main thing executed far better than other colivings is the construction of your personal bed area. The way they did it as a wooden cubby is better and more sturdy than a bunk bed, so it feels more like a mini nook attached to a community space. You can store your things up there too, and something about it being sturdy & wooden -- instead of a rickety metal frame -- psychologically helps give the feeling of a secure personal space to be at ease in, instead of an impersonal barracks-style bunk you'd temporarily try to just (maybe) sleep in.

- The community area itself feels more homey than most. It's a thoughtfully laid-out & designed physical space if you care about spending a bit of downtime chilling there beyond just sleeping.

- There's a quiet & lights-out policy at night, so if you're a light sleeper you can sleep through the night without drunk folks getting home at 2am and stumbling around loudly with their smartphone flashlights on, which is appreciated.

- There aren't bed curtains; in the design they are going for a more open social atmosphere. Prior to arriving I was skeptical of this choice, but quickly got used to it -- and it does help foster a more positive less closed-off vibe, so I was convinced. As an introvert, it wasn't an issue.

- That said, if you're someone who wants more privacy, the upper bunks feel less exposed than the lower ones due to being higher up.

- They have free vegetables in the kitchen which is nice to supplement a travel diet with. They also provided a travel bottle of shampoo/conditioner/lotion.

- I'd suggest checking in around the time of the change in day (here that was early afternoon) if possible with your travel plans, as it would be easiest logistically if you have any questions for the onsite staff.

Nice place. Very quiet and the staff is so friendly. The neighborhood is Little Italy, and there are several good places to eat great Italian food. A 7-Eleven near the Trolley station (County Center) adds a bonus. I'll return for sure.

Great place to stay for cheap in SD, near the airport and the city

the room itself was good, and the pods felt quite spacious. everyone was respectful, which I appreciated. the bathrooms were clean during my stay, but I couldn’t find a hair dryer. check-in was easy. the only downside was that there weren’t any privacy curtains, which can be a bit annoying for those in bottom beds, as others might pass through frequently. the location in little italy was nice!

Absolutely a great stay.
Low cost.
Very clean.
Strong service.
Close to public transportation.
Exactly what I hoped my stay would be.

This was a safe haven for when I needed it the most. The staff was very attentive and always kept the place looking its best. Everyone was very patient and understanding. I would definitely recommend this coliving space for anyone in any situation. Thank you for welcoming us and allowing us to enjoy our stay.

Awesome place with awesome people and a cozy bed and shower.

Great space, service, and community. This is a great spot to use if you have a last minute trip.

My partner and I like to stay at this coliving anytime we are in LA to go to Universal. It's in a good location to get to the metro to get around.

I stayed two nights, comfortable bed, nice people, great location.
