Michael's treehouse feels cozy and secluded. The location indeed makes it an easy 20 minute walk up the hill to Balboa Park and a 20 minute walk down the hill to Little Italy and the harbor. I had enough space to put my backpack out of the way and live comfortably for two days, but I also had access to the common areas in the house only a few steps away if I wanted to use my laptop on a sofa or chair there. All in all, it was a great place for me to sleep, wake up, shave, walk in one direction, sightsee all day there, walk back, and repeat the next day.
