I've stayed at Michael's location 4 or 5 times. It's a great setup in an old house. You could walk to Balboa park if you had it in you. Not too far. This time I stayed in the attic room, since it was the only one available. I was afraid it would get too hot, but there are multiple a/c systems and fans there. I only needed one going at night during August. The house has a nice feel to it, with the old wood. If you have mobility issues it may not be for you, with the stairways to the multiple rooms throughout. The attic has a small narrow stairwell, so I wouldn't recommend that for any elderly or mobility impaired. Another consideration is parking. I don't mind walking 2 blocks coming back past 8 at night, some may. Parking can get difficult at night, especially on weekends. Other than those two matters to consider, very easy instructions for checkin, great location with Little Italy blocks down the street and Balboa Park not far in the opposite direction. You could Uber/Lyft around town easy. Forgot to mention, you're in the flight path of the airport. I actually love this, and didn't have any sleep issues--planes start at 7am and end around 10pm. There is a huge kitchen with an industrial fridge and the outside grounds in the back are really neat to walk through. Many little nooks for a moment of reflection.
