I've spent 6 beautiful days in Michael's loft and it was fantastic experience for me! Amazing view from the windows (especially by night!)). Michael was very helpful and friendly. All went really smooth. The house itself is unique for SD area as I understand. I even took my friends from Carlsbad to have a look. It's a quiet neighborhood and tasty (Little Italy is just next to this place). Interior is deeply thought in every detail. You can feel that for Michael it's more than just a house where he can host people from all around the world. It's definitely his beloved child! Thai aura was mixed with Victorian spirit and the result you can see. The little pond and chill out zone with greens are also perfect surroundings. So instead of typical american back-yard you have an entire small green world with Buddha statues all around. I definitely recommend this place to everyone if they want to have a truly unique experience in SD! Thank you, Michael!
