We did not meet Michael but did meet Jeff(?) his Texan roommate who was extremely welcoming and informative.
Michael did not respond very fast to my request and did not answer my question on whether the room I was requesting had a private bath but more than made up for it when he called me before arrival and told me he upgraded us to the cottage which does have a bathroom and is absolutely charming!
The house has the best of vibes and a pup that is extremely welcoming and cute.
We walked to Little Italy and from there to the Gaslamp district. Took a $7 cab ride back. Location is perfect!!
The planes do fly really low and close to the house, though in the house I could not hear them, in the cottage, which is a bit lower than the house, you could. You do get used to it though and they stop flying in at a certain time.
All in all my experience here was wonderful and would stay here again!
