We very much enjoyed our stay. Michael gave us a warm welcome, leaving us in Heather's capable hands while he was called away to tend to family matters. The house is old and wonderful with plenty of bohemian character, tastefully decorated with antiques and Eastern artifacts. The Banker's Hill neighborhood is charming, though visitors should be aware that the plane that brought them to San Diego will be flying literally overhead as it lands at the nearby downtown airport. The house is soundproofed but the noise is ever present. The Blue Room has a large, comfortable bed and a sink and toilet in the room. The shower is in another bathroom right next door (there is also one available downstairs). We appreciated the little deck just off of our room where we had breakfast every morning. The kitchen is large and well equipped, so making our morning meal was easy and convenient. The common area living room was delightful to sit in though we didn't use it much – after all, with Balboa Park, Little Italy, downtown San Diego, and the waterfront close by, we were out and about most of the time. We're San Franciscans, so we found the vibe of Michael's place and its surroundings to be both comfortable and pleasantly familiar.
