Mike's Place is the perfect setting for those who want a "real" San Diego neighborhood experience. A beautiful, historic home surrounded by similar homes in an extremely peaceful setting within walking distance to shops, grocery stores and restaurants. Mike is a wonderful host and made us feel comfortable from the minute we arrived. If you are staying in San Diego for a few days I would highly recommend Mike's Place over a hotel downtown. Centrally located, it is a 10 minute drive to Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and just as close to downtown, Little Italy, Seaport Village, etc. If we ever return to San Diego, Mike will be the first person we call!
