Michael was out of town, but he had a house manger (Nita) there for us. Nita was very welcoming and kind and as it was Christmas Eve, she invited us to enjoy dinner with her and some other guests that night. We felt that Nita went above and beyond expectations in hosting us because not only did we get to stay in a great place (the tree-house!) with a lovely great room to use in the evenings, but we had an unexpected and lovely dinner with her and other guests. I think that anyone would be lucky to stay in this house while visiting San Diego.
