Michael's place was just what my friend and I were looking for on our Spring Break trip to San Diego. The location is unbeatable; five minute drive from the airport (had no trouble sleeping during the night), a pleasant 15 walk to downtown areas like Little Italy, and walkable distance to public transportation that can take you anywhere from Mission Beach and Coronado Island to the San Diego Zoo.

The house itself is really quite beautiful. It's an old Victorian style with character. I really enjoyed the eclectic art, the cozy fireplace, the magical garden with multi-level patio. Best of all was the fully equipped kitchen! My friend and I did grocery shopping and cooked in a lot to save some money. The kitchen catered to all of our needs, and had everything from cooler bags and tupperware to a full shelf of spices.

The bathrooms were always clean and well stocked, never had any issues waiting in line. We stayed in the green room on the second floor and got to enjoy the lovely private balcony overlooking San Diego.

I would recommend Michael's home to anyone, from college students to families looking for a homey spot that's more memorable and less expensive than a hotel! If you give yourself the chance, you can meet some pretty interesting people from all over the country. I will definitely come back here next time I'm in San Diego.
