I was looking for a safe affordable option as a solo traveler, and Samesun delivered on all counts. I appreciated the attention to safety and emotional wellbeing, as well as the welcoming atmosphere and fun, cozy decor. I especially appreciated the option between communal bathroom and single bathroom/shower combos on each floor. I was not there long enough to take full advantage of the surfboards and patio and games in the communal area, but would love to come back for a longer stay. There is airport noise, but that’s true everywhere in San Diego. All the shops and eateries on the street are fun and unique, and the nightlife is vibrant and engaging.
