From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt welcomed and ready to start my vacation at this beautiful home. Micheal's place was in a prime location right next to Little Italy and only minutes away to Hillcrest. The home is pleasantly decorated and spacious. I stayed in the loft which was an amazing space. The bed was comfortable and the space was cozy and quiet. It had a small flat screen television with remote, a fold-out desk in the corner to place my laptop, and a chair and side table to sit and place items. My personal request to have the loft windows covered was fulfilled. I was able to lock the room from both sides. The a/c cooling fan in the room was great and kept the room at a comfortable temperature. The house is located in a very nice neighborhood located just blocks away from Balboa Park. I enjoyed each of the main bathrooms, while on my stay, which gave a different feel and perspective to the home. The zen room had a nice vibe and was great to relax in. The kitchen had all the things one needs to create a beautiful meal and to store your food safely. As a chef, I loved exploring the cabinets and finding things myself, and was surprised by all the appliances featured in the home. The garden was a beautiful oasis of lush trees and plants. The cleaning lady/host Denise was a delight to meet and respectful! She was able to answer questions and anything I couldn't find in the home, she was able to get for me. I very much enjoyed the home and all the people I've met here. The house provided me a comfortable private experience to stay better than a hotel..a home away from home and the next I am in San Diego I will look into booking a Micheal's again. Next time I will look into one of the lower private villas. Ciao! :)
