As an avid vintage collector, I know the real deal when I see it—and if you are too, Mike’s house will not disappoint. He has lovingly restored and furnished this property to its early 20th-century splendor, affording me and my travel companion the sublime luxury of feeling as if we were living among San Diego’s historical elite for a week. The house is spacious and comfortable, and the location is unmatched—extremely central to bustling retail and business areas in every direction, nothing more than 10 minutes by foot or car (which I found amazing for Southern California). Street parking right out front was also plentiful, in case you have a car. The native desert flora surrounding the home is similarly exquisite; it’s like having your own private park right in the front yard! Mike and Larry were also attentive and prompt hosts, quickly accommodating all requests that arose during our stay. In sum, a very special property that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to visitors!
