While I didn't meet Michael, I met Eric who was very helpful with checking me in, showing me the ropes and answering my questions. I didn't really have time to take advantage of the kitchen or the chill outdoor area and hot tub, but it looked very peaceful and inviting. It was an easy walk to Balboa Park and the Zoo, which were both fabulous. I really appreciated being able to leave my things for the day after checking out and being told I could come back to take a shower before my red eye flight after a long day of walking. One thing I learned about this part of San Diego is how close the airplanes are! Thank goodness there's an 11:30 curfew for planes at night, but they start early. There happened to be construction going on in the street as well, but I was up early anyways, so none of this bothered me. Bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise and if you're staying in the basement room. Overall, a very pleasant--though short--stay for my first airbnb experience. Thanks!
