Michael is a helpful and humorous host, and made us feel welcome! All of the decor made the place feel peaceful, the notes for guest etiquette posted throughout the house (bedroom, kitchen) were very helpful, and the calendar of events in San Diego by the kitchen was a nice touch as well. The outdoor garden area was really beautiful and we loved it! We stayed in the Green Room, which was well-furnished and comfortable with a great view from the balcony. The other guests were also very considerate when we stayed here. We rented a car, so driving around San Diego from this location was easy, but I imagine getting around using public transit or by foot is straightforward as well since the streets in the area are grid-like. There are many restaurants and attractions a short distance away. The house is located very near San Diego airport, so airplanes would fly overhead pretty often but we got used to it quickly (and I noticed that new earplugs sets were placed by the calendar for guests to use). Whenever we come back to San Diego, we will definitely try to stay at Michael's place again!
