It was easy to check in even though Michael was not there. We could talk with him on the phone easily. We met him the next day and it was very nice and fun talking with him. One of the nights we stayed there Michael told us stories about the place’s history. His place has a great history you should ask about when you meet this great host.
The listing description is pretty accurate and looks exactly like the photos. I and my husband loved the garden so much.
Location is also very good. Balboa park, little italy, and downtown are all a five minute walk. Nice calm neighborhood except the constant noise from the airplanes flying right over the house but that was one of the reasons we chose this place as my husband is crazy for planes so it was like a paradise for him.
I recommend this place for anyone who wants to stay closer to little italy, downtown, balboa park area.
