We stayed at Michael’s cottage for a long week-end and had a wonderful time. Michael and Adam were super kind, greeted us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house, which is great, particularly the outdoor space. Wifi connection was great, towels, body wash and most importantly coffee were provided! The house is conveniently located between Balboa park and little Italy, but it is a bit too close to the airport, so you can hear planes flying over during the day, but Michael provides earplugs if you need them.
The cottage has its own private entrance and is perfect for a couple, we also had full access to the main house bathroom and kitchen, which was great, as the bathroom in the cottage has a door that does not close properly, so it is not very private.
During our stay, the house must have been at full capacity and yet we hardly met the other guests, so it felt very quiet overall, unless someone is chatting in the garden, which is right next to the cottage.
