My husband and I had a great stay in the Garden Room in Michael's house! We really enjoyed the hostel-style environment, but in a very nice home and with all the privacy that having your own room has to offer. The room was clean and fun to stay in, even with the low ceiling. The grounds are landscaped wonderfully. It feels like you're in a little tropical oasis in the city! We really enjoyed the central location and being able to walk downtown, Little Italy, and even over to Balboa Park. We met some great people who were also staying at this house. The staff (who are on-site in the afternoon) were friendly and helpful. This is a great spot if you're looking for a fun and interesting place to stay that is communal, yet private, and is close to everything you want/need. We will definitely stay here again when back in San Diego!!
