This place is pretty neat! The location is extremely convenient, being just a brisk walk to Little Italy and a cheap taxi from Gaslamp. There was ample (and free!) parking on the streets surrounding the house. The property is close to an airport, so the noise of planes is a little frequent during the day. That being said, I feel I only noticed it when I was outside of the gates to the house.
Although Michael, the host, could not be there at the time, Heather was very welcoming and explained the house rules well. Both of them did a great job at making us feel comfortable.
The house is huge, and very beautiful. We only saw the first floor because we were actually staying in a small cottage behind the house. In the back where the cottage was, Michael has created a wonderful garden/seating area with soft lighting and waterfalls. Very zen, the perfect place to take a step back and enjoy the present.
Our cottage was also nice. A little small, with just a comfy bed and a half bathroom (outside shower, really awesome), but a perfect getaway for your vacation in a great city. Definitely a place I would like to revisit!
