we had a great stay in michael's home. it is close to the airport (45 min walk or 10 min cab ride) as well as little italy (5 min walk) the zoo (20 min walk) & downtown san diego (25 min walk). we walked everywhere! michael is a wonderful host and has a lovely restored old victorian home. as with all older homes, the floors are creaky and walls between rooms are thin (may effect a light sleeper) but this should be expected in houses of this type. the grounds are beautifully manicured & maintained and they make for a really relaxing and fun environment. you also cannot beat the price here. definitely recommend!
