Hey guys I'm sitting in a Denny's in PB and could really use a place to stay. I just drove out here from Ocean City, MD and the place I thought I was staying at fell through - craigslist. My budgets 600 a month on rent MAX. If any body has a spare room or couch they wouldn't mind renting please let me know! I'm open to going anywhere in San Diego. I'm a clean, respectful, easy going 18 year old surfer. Thanks in advance for any help guys!! -Tommy Ps my numbers 6102173775 call or text anytime!
SD's local zine is called the reader. You can find them everywhere for free. There will be tons of ads in there for places as well as on CL. While PB is a somewhat decent place you will probably find the people there fancy themselves more of an elitist crowd than elsewhere. You would probably have more luck in OB just south across the river. Something about the 8 emptying into the town makes it a more transient friendly option in my opinion. Go hang out on Newport ave at a bar or something and ask around, it worked for me many years ago. Just don't stay there TOO long. That place can be a trap!
http://www.affordablehousingsd.com/ 5 yrs ago my friend stayed at the -island Inn- nice studio with a mini fridge, micro wave, queen bed shower, at that time, fun near the bars, in the city. He was paying less than their advertised rates, so some talking and bargaining might do u some good here. It looks like they have 2 other locations as well. I've also stayed here, sandiegohostels.org dumpy like a youth hostel should, but hey its a room, and there was European chicks around. Good luck
