Michael's place was perfect for crashing while exploring San Diego. I didn't spend a lot of time on the back decks, but the front coi pond was beautiful. It was centrally located, and the plane noise didn't bother me at all. It is a loft space, so it's just a little bit open to the rest of the house, but it's in a converted attic, so the room is its own floor, and I wasn't bothered at all. There is a door to the bedroom that locks from the inside and the outside, and the front door has a keypad, which was very convenient. The listing is NOT kidding about the steep narrow stairs to the room. I was fine, but I'm average sized, and if I was any bigger, or had luggage bigger than a duffel bag, I would not have fit. The room had a comfy chair, awesome bed, little TV, and fold out desk with desk chair. There was also a TON of shelves, if you really wanted to spread out your stuff. Shared bathroom had soap and even sunscreen, and the living room had tons of maps and brochures and lists of activities going on around the city! Would certainly recommend this room.
