We were welcomed by Denise, who was very helpful and informative. She gave us a thorough tour of the house and was very patient with the numerous questions we had about San Diego. Denise told us all about the places we could eat, buy provisions and some of the things to see and do.

Our room was very clean and we were able to have a drink in the lounge as we waited for it to be ready. The house is absolutely gorgeous and is filled with an eclectic range of art from many different cultures. The atmosphere is warm, cosy and inviting; it reminded us of the sets used in the old tv series of Tales of the City - wonderful. The outside spaces are a real bonus and are lit at night, creating a lovely ambience.

One or two things which we feel should be mentioned: the house lies directly under the flight path of every plane entering San Diego airport and planes cross no more than 50 feet above the building, which is initially disconcerting and certainly deafening. However, within a couple of hours our awareness of this faded and we paid scant attention to it thereafter.

All in all, we had a great stay which was only shortened by the fact that our car had to be taken back to AZ. We would certainly book the house again. Thank you, Michael and Denise!
