Michael’s place is great! Very conveniently located; a short walk to the beach (<2 minutes) and in close proximity to cafes, grocery/pharmacy, and a host of restaurants. It is on a main thoroughfare, but I didn’t have any issues with noise. If you do, or you’re planning on going to Pacific Beach to spend the day in your room, this is probably not the spot for you. If you’re looking for a great bargain that’s close to everything and allows you to cook some meals from home, Michael’s place is a no brainer. Michael was super communicative and helpful, and flexible in allowing me to check in early. Would def stay here again!
