Mike's place is exactly as described. It is located in a stylish neighborhood in North Park and is within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. As the name of the neighborhood implies, it is a very short distance to beautiful Balboa Park, home to the San Diego Zoo.
The home itself is much bigger than I expected, and has a bonus room which sleeps at least two more people. There are plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets, and the kitchen is well-stocked. The beds are very comfortable. If you like to relax in front of the television, there are two t.v.s available to do just that.
I did not get a chance to take advantage of sitting outside in the very attractive yard and patio, but there is ample room to do so.
My favorite thing? I am a shower person, and the shower off one of the bedrooms was a large walk-in with a fantastic rain shower head. (I am easy to please, I suppose.)
Finally, Mike is a super agreeable, friendly host, and it is very easy to communicate with him regarding any issues that might come up.
I would not hesitate to stay in Mike's home during my next trip to San Diego.
