My boyfriend and I stayed at Michael's cottage for one evening, but we wish we could have stayed a few more days! We didn't meet Michael, but one of his worker's greeted us and gave a nice tour of the home. The cottage is cozy, clean, and secure. The location is great; we were easily able to walk to Little Italy, Balboa Park, and Petco Park. Our favorite part of the cottage was the deck and garden. It was relaxing to sit there and enjoy the ambiance. Michael's place in underneath a flight path to San Diego's airport, so you see and hear the planes coming in. This didn't bother either of us, but it may be an issue for light sleepers. (Luckily there are ear plugs provided.) We loved our evening there, and would visit again.
