I visit San Diego once a year, and I must say Michael's place is the best spot I've stayed in. The guest house is beautiful, cozy and modern, with a amazing patio door spanning the whole wall. The backyard is perfect to relax in after a long day out.
Michael is an excellent host, suggesting plenty of places to go to eat, drink, and be entertained. He also is very generous, having the house unlocked and ready for when I was arriving late, and offering me an umbrella when it was raining the next day. I plan on staying at Michael's whenever I visit San Diego.
