Manny and the crew were great! Very clean and cordial staff 😊
United States of AmericaThere was super nice mix of very diverse individuals including the staff with such a welcoming vibe. The property was extremely safe and was exceptionally clean. Breakfast was available every morning... A lot of places say that but don't actually do it. The residents were really interested in you having a good time and getting involved. It was very community.oriented.
United States of AmericaExtremely accessible to public transportation, grocery stores and everything needed.
United States of AmericaLoved this place! It was not a hostile hostel like some can be at all. Awesome vibe felt like you were home visiting friends.
United States of AmericaThis place is more than a hostel colive, it's a place where people come to experience SD, and people from all over the world. Eventually ur become friends but here you become part of a family. The staff really care about their guest and make it very enjoyable and fun. They are awesome at making sure your experience there is one you will ever want to leave. I will be returning soon to the one place that felt like home to me in a while. Ty for the memories keep rocking on ITH BALBOA....until next time peace, love and lime juice.
United States of AmericaThe environment is super laid back, and the staff treat you like family right from the get go. This is my first like real hostel and it's been amazing. Love this place.
United States of AmericaAside from have a a beautiful down to earth feel, the staff themselves were remarkable! Always kind friendly and happy to help with even the most mundane requests. Although everyone was wonderful, I’d have to say a young man named Conor was one of the highlights of my stay, a hard worker and a great overall guy. Thanks so much ITH!
United States of AmericaThe vibe was hella chill. Everyone there was very helpful. Staff very helpful
United States of AmericaIf your a shopaholic lime me then your right on target you have open options from vintage to today's casf. If your a sight seeker the extravagant views up high or down low will blow your mind. If you have an acquired interest in mobility such as the Porsche convertible it range rovet sport then you must do some window shopping.
