Michael's place is awesome. We had a room with its own balcony that overlooked downtown and the harbour. Perfect for a glass of wine whilst looking at the sunset. We didn't use the kitchen or communal areas but they looked very clean and pleasant. Location was great, 5 minutes walk to Little Italy for some food and about 20 mins walk to the main nightlife area in downtown. Cabs back at night were around $8. We were allowed to leave our bags in the house as we went exploring on our last day after check out too. All in all a perfect place from which to enjoy San Diego, would definitely recommend.
