What a privilege it was to spend eight days in Mike’s rare jewel of a house, immersed in beauty, comfort, and tranquility. Every detail was perfect: the Arts & Crafts architecture and furnishings; art that gladdens the eye at every turn; a luxuriant garden; exemplary cleanliness; and pampering amenities in one of the most gorgeous bathrooms you’re likely to encounter. Mike himself was just as delightful as his house, as was Larry, the master craftsman responsible for many of the improvements in the house. We wouldn’t have enjoyed our San Diego visit nearly as much had we not had this oasis to return to after each day’s sightseeing in the sweltering sun. Thank you, Mike, for sharing your unique home with us.
