Michael met us on arrival and gave an instructive, thorough tour of his home and amenities. It is a unique, serene, slightly rustic setting far removed from the sterile ambience of a downtown hotel room. Very California, very Zen. It may not be for everybody, but we absolutely loved it- feeding the Emus and Koi in the morning and walking in the gardens, centered our day in a place of tranquility, connection and peace. The art work in the apartment is special, but the shower is amazing; given the drought situation in CA one must be careful or will stay for way too long- it is that good. The gestalt was much more than we expected; very private, conveniently located, and Michael was unobtrusive. All in all, if visiting San Diego again, I will look him up for sure. A gem.
