My friend and I were just staying in San Diego for just an evening, and we would be departing very early the next morning across the border to Mexico. Michelle's place was perfect for our plans.

The place was a cute guest house in the back of the main home. It was very easy to find when we arrived in the evening, with ample street parking. The area between the main home and the guest house was illuminated with outdoor lighting, which made it very easy for us to spot the address provided at night (since it's obscured from the street view). Michelle left the door open (as she said she would), so we just simply walked in with our luggage.

The interior was cozy, clean and immaculate -- exactly how you would imagine based on the pictures. Michelle wrote a nice greeting for us on the chalkboard on the kitchenette counter -- along with apples and bottled water. A nice touch.

My friend slept in the bedroom and I slept on the futon. No complaints there at all. Wi-fi worked great for our phones, and I enjoyed perusing the books on the small book shelf. The next morning we cleaned up, packed up, and departed. On the way out, we ran into Michelle's husband who was very friendly, asked about our stay, and bid us adieu.

The only thing I will add is finding street parking in the neighborhood after midnight was somewhat of a challenge. After initially dropping off our luggage, we went out for a late dinner and returned after midnight. By that time, most of the street spots were occupied, so we had to park a few blocks away. It was no big deal, but just something for other visitors to be aware of if coming back late. I would not hesitate to stay here again when in town.
