Michael's place is just what you would want! A large house located close to everything: between 5 minutes (walking) to little Italy to 15-20 to downtown. I stayed 3 nights in the loft. Nothing fancy but spacious and clean. You don't want to spend the time up there anyway... The back yard looks too much like heaven: hot tub, grill, sofa, plants all over the place.
The airport is not far but I was not disturbed by any noise during the night. Maurice welcomed me when I arrived and showed me around, gave tips, explained the story of the house, etc. Checking out was as easy as it could be. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back next time in San Diego
