This place is incredible. I can really recommend to stay there - especially if you travel alone and/or want to meet other travelers. I have never seen a beautiful garden like they have it in the backyard - a relaxing oasis in the middle of SD.

I stayed there for a week and it was a really pleasuring experience. The room was small, but in had all I needed. The garden outside is an amazing place to relax or meet other guests. The kitchen offers everything one need, the living room is very comfortable as well.

During my stay at Michaels place I met other travelers and had a great time. So if you like to meet new people from all over the world - this is the place. If you don't, there is enough space to enjoy the relaxing garden alone.

The room and the place in general was very clean and had everything I needed: A comfortable bed, clean restrooms & showers, towels, a kitchen (including a coffee machine, a fridge, a stove, a toaster, and all the equipment you need to cook.

The area is safe and quiet. Only exception are the airplanes (but I did not hear them when sleeping with ear plugs). Little italy & the bay are in walking distance (~10-15 minutes). I had a car and found a parking space near the appartment all the time.
