Great Hostel!
Stayed for nearly two weeks including San Diego Comic Con week and never experienced any sign of trouble or gang activity. The Hostel isn't right in the centre of town but in a nice quiet area and downtown San Diego is easily and quickly accessible by public transport. Also, one of the cleanest buildings I have ever been in hostel or otherwise. Juliet is very helpful and was great for information about where to go and transportation in San Diego, and made a great breakfast. Nothing like any "Zombie" I've ever seen. None of my possessions were stolen during my time here and I had bought a good deal of items while in San Diego and kept them at the Hostel. Highly recommended!

An unbelievable "Craphole"
I stopped by the St. Chris site while in the San Diego area and found a place that could not succeed in being any worse. The location is on the edge of the "Ghetto Zone" of San Diego -- known for the areas gangs, drugs, and assorted garbage. Apparently the local police agencies frown on this place bringing unsuspecting visitors to the area. As for the location, you are in the true "armpit" of San Diego and, getting anywhere without a car would be disastrous. This place is far removed from anywhere, anything, and anyone you would want to see in San Diego. The place itself -- unless you live in a blighted structure -- is to say the best, a dump. The place is littered with trash, the floors, walls, and furniture were plain dirty. And, the "kitchen area" -- more like a "hotplate and icebox" -- would never ever pass any health department inspection(s) that I know of. The "Zombie-like" Juliet who seemingly serves as the innkeeper is truly a strange-bird and having said that, I would be truly concerned in being a guest and leaving for the day and expecting your belongings to still be there upon your return.
