Though we never met Michael (or Dennis, his contact person), communication was quick and seamless. The house itself was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. Location is ideal, close to Pacific Beach, shops, (good) coffee, and with easy access to other parts of the San Diego area. A big bonus was that all of the beds were amazingly comfortable (this was discussed in the car on our way home). My friends, the dog, and I really enjoyed our weekend at Michael's home, and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again.
