This place is an absolute gem in the heart of San Diego. The decoration throughout the house and in the yard is beautiful, the entire place feels like a tropical oasis. The neighborhood is perfect, really safe, tons of parking, literally 15 minutes to drive to any of the popular tourist locations (Coronado, Mission Bay, LaJolla etc.). If you don't have a car, this place is perfect because Micheal has bikes you can use and both Balboa park and Little Italy are a 10 minute walk. Highly recommend this place! Only draw back is that it is in the flight path for the airport so the sounds from the planes can be a bit annoying. If you are someone who is easily woken up by loud sounds you may want to bring ear plugs to sleep with. We didn't have any problems with the sounds but a few other guests seemed a bit annoyed by it. The house is so beautiful, honestly the plane noise is a small sacrifice to make.
