Michael is a doll who takes great care of his lovely old home, his baby! The house sits just under the landing strip for the San Diego airport but once inside it's really not an issue. I used earplugs and the sound machine and slept ok. Even out in the hottub it's fun hearing them roar overhead. We were up in the lavender room which was ok but not a choice room. I hear the others have more pizazz. I think 5 rooms on our floor shared a bathroom but there are two full baths on the first level. You just have to be cool with that. The house was clean and lovingly restored and located minutes from little Italy - fun to walk there at night. Great hosts and guests! A good spot to meet others as well.
