This place is so enchanting. The backyard and side yard areas are like a little jungle oasis. It's absolutely gorgeous! The house has so much character and I loved the art.
I know the listing tells you that the house is in a flight path and that you will hear airplanes but be aware that the planes feel like they are flying like 5ft overhead! The noise is VERY close but the house and the rooms are stocked with ear plugs.
The location is amazing! We walked to the Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy.
The only problem we had was that our room's highlight, the outdoor shower, could not be utilized. The hot water didn't work and the night was cold- wasn't about to freeze my arse off- so we just showered inside, where the hot water did work. This was disappointing because this was one of our biggest reasons for choosing Michael's place.
Also, be aware that you will be TICKETED if you don't curb your tires (turning your tires when you park so if your vehicle rolls it will roll into the curb and not down the hill). Michael (the host) mentions that you should do this but does not stress that this is a ticketed offense (a $70 ticket!). So turn your tires!!!
