Michael met us at the curb and assisted with bringing our luggage to the apartment. The oohs and ahs of my granddaughters as we traversed the stairs through the "jungle" were proof to me that this was the right choice for our girls' weekend. The apartment itself is just as described, clean and cozy, with everything we needed. The tile shower is larger than our entire bathroom at home, so very impressive. The deck area with private hot tub was much appreciated and enjoyed both nights of our stay. A highlight for all of us was watching the emus gobble down the apple slices which Michael provides for guests to feed them. We also enjoyed the aviary and the cheery birdsong which greeted us each morning. I definitely would recommend Michael's apartment to friends and family or anyone else seeking a fun and unique place to stay in the San Diego area.
One little note for possible improvement: the sofabed caves toward the middle and makes a lot of racket every time you turn over. My daughter-in-law said it was pretty uncomfortable. We slept very well in the king bed in the bedroom, and the twin airbed seemed to be fine, as well.
