Michael was a fantastic host. His property is incredible- it feels like you're living in a jungle in a Swiss Family Robinson treehouse... A luxury one that is. It's got gorgeous custom stonework, a full kitchen great for cooking, the most incredible shower you've ever seen (no, really) and two flat screens both equipped with TV/HBO/you name it... And then there's the half acre grounds complete with two aviaries, filled with animals, two hot tubs, a pool and two emus that you can feed apples to and marvel at their dinosaur-like wonder. Michael himself was so helpful- showed us everything we could possibly need when we showed up, was in touch with any questions we had a promptly, grabbed us some extra utensils for cooking, and even let us stay a little bit late to finish up a soccer game on TV :) We couldn't have asked for a better time. Also, great location... 10 min to the beach, 15 minutes to downtown San Diego, and 20 minutes to Tijuana. Come stay!
