Michelle took great care of us. Even though we arrived several hours early due to a flight being faster than expected it was no problem at all to host us directly. The apartment was really great for the stay of a colleague an me during a conference in San Diego. In particular the kitchen was marvelous. A good selection of pots and pans for the large MIELE inductive cooking field. Two separate fridges for drinks and a lot of exquisite wine and drink glasses. Kitchen and living room beautifully merged to the communicative center of the house. Therefore, we hosted several small lunch and dinner events inviting other colleagues. The view from the large balcony is spectacular. Any vehicle air- land- or sea-bound can be seen from time to time. All kind of planes taking off and landing on the single strip airfield. Amtrak trains, nuclear aircraft carriers, navy helicopters. Due to all this traffic it is quite noisy on the balcony. However, if you close the windows it is calm inside and still the view through large windows is stunning. Airport take offs and landings come to a halt between 23:30 and 06:30. The trolley stop is just five minutes on foot away. So even without a car it is no problem to commute downtown. The place is highly recommended for groups that want to spend an extraordinary time in San Diego. Thanks again Michelle for your hospitality!
