This was our 2nd stay at Mikes. Can't imagine a better place to stay in San Diego. Not only is this 110 year old house a special retreat, the inviting garden and outdoor spaces are filled with lovely plants and wildlife (hummingbirds, an owl, a merlin among others) and the location is the absolute best. Within a 5 minute walk or less, there are great grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants and even an incredible Farmer's Market every Sunday. The bus system was super easy to figure out (take the Flyer shuttle from the Airport to "Old Town Trolley" station (free) and purchase a pronto card there. You can ride as often as you wish for a max of $6/day. Unbeatable value and a good way to get to know the city. Mike also includes a handy information package on the house and area and is an interesting gentleman to chat with. I love the thoughtful touches like Aveda hair products, lovely soaps, and hand wash as well. Wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in San Diego.
