Absolutely loved it! The comfort and hominess of the spacious cottage was only the beginning. There are artful presentations everywhere - from the quaint garden to interior decorations (including Mike's own paintings) to all the little details of cabinetry and windows. It was a whole pleasant get-away experience in an artful environment rather than simply staying in a lodging. Everything we needed (and more, actually!) was there also. We slept well on the memory foam mattress just like what we use at home. Mike is a wonderful host, friendly and accommodating, and we enjoyed talking with him about art and culture.
The location is very convenient. It is so close to Balboa Park that we could just get up and go, come back and rest up and go out again. The poetry bridge around the corner gave us an easy access on foot to the grocery store, coffee shops, etc. We are very glad to have found Mike's Place and it will be our favorite spot in San Diego forever! Thanks Mike for sharing your beautiful cottage!
