I won't go into detail about Michael's place since all the other reviews have done that. It's marvelous btw. My experience was made by the people that I interacted with in this house. During my stay, I met people from Chile, Belgium, Malaysia, and Mexico. I was able to talk to these individuals about their cultures and philosophies. My visit to San Diego was short, and I was on my own, but I was able to meet wonderful people and even hang out with them around the city. I highly recommend this place if you want to stay in a prime location, beautiful house, and if you want to meet some wonderful people!
