The attic room was exactly as described. Stairs are narrow but we had no problem taking suitcases up there. The aeroplanes are noisy but after an hour or 2 we did not even notice them except when playing aeroplane bingo ( Southwest is the most common I found if you want to bet on it)!
The house is lovely and quirky. 3 bathrooms and we never had to wait for a shower. Met lots of fellow travellers which was good. Ashley looked after us extremely well even washed our dishes so we introduced her to English tea, milk & 2 sugars!
Location is good for Little italy (15 minute walk), the harbour (20 minute walk), Gaslamp and Ballpark 45 minute walk or $10 uber....all downhill on the way there. Met some homeless people during our stay but no problems there. Use uber rather than the trolley bus tour which we felt was very overpriced. Coronado Island was pretty with fantastic beaches.
We would recommend Michael's place to everyone. The rocking chairs on the veranda are awesome!!
