Although Michael and Jeff were very friendly and agreeable, this is not a place for everyone. Rather chaotic, really, at least for country folk. Too much noise, inside and out (although definitely with the windows closed the outside noise was nearly non-existent). They were having trouble with new cleaning help while we were there and my daughter and I had overwhelming urges to dust! Water in showers was constantly alternating between ice cold and burning hot. Just a problem of lots of people in one house, I suppose. To be fair, if you are used to sharing a house and bathrooms with all sorts of random people, this may work very well for you. We loved being able to walk to Little Italy, downtown, Hillcrest, and especially Balboa Park. Also a short cab ride to and from the airport.
