This is SUCH a cool spot. If you like staying at places with personality, Michael's is for you. There are so many nooks and crannies and the urban jungle outside is a real pleasure. As others have said, it's in a flight path, but they stop flying overnight, so it's not an issue unless you just really want quiet in the day.
I was a little nervous about staying at a place with common bathrooms, etc, but really it's just like what you'd get at a traditional Bed & Breakfast. We met a few other travelers and the way Michael has it set up, you really feel free to come and go like it's your own. We stayed in the blue room, which is adorable. There is a tiny half-bath within that space, but if you want more privacy, there's another bathroom immediately outside of the bedroom. The balcony off our room was fantastic for sipping coffee and watching the city come alive.
The location is also great. We took the bus to the gaslamp district and a lyft to Sunset Cliffs (not to be missed, btw). Balboa Park is right nearby. The house is right off the highway, so it's pretty accessible.
I left a dress in our room and Heather was great about making sure it was put aside for us to come back and get.
All in all, a great experience and would love to stay there again!
