We had a wonderful stay at Michael's place. The house is warm and homely, with everything you could need (lots of extra towels, blankets, bedding etc.) and we felt very comfortable there.
The back yard is really cute, and our dogs loved lounging out there in the morning when we had coffee. It's very secure, private and lots of shade if you have dogs with you. The front porch sitting area is also spacious and private, a nice spot for hanging out.
The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and the location is PERFECT. A ten minute walk to the beach, with lots of little coffee trucks along the way. Parking down by the beach can be tricky, especially on the weekends, so to be able to stroll down there is lovely.
We would love to stay again next time we're in San Diego. Thanks Michael for being a great host :)
