What we liked especially:
- house and garden. Full of art. Sensitively restored to original Arts & Crafts style
- immediate neighbourhood. Quiet wide streets. 5 min level walk to Trader Joes supermarket
- access. Everything we wanted to visit in San Diego area was a short drive away
- bed. Memory foam mattress, very comfortable
- Mike himself. Friendly, interesting, happy to show us his art studio.
Overall, strongly recommend this as a base for visiting SD
