Michael's place was a great and interesting experience. Super cool guy :)!! This was our first time using AirBnB so we didn't know what to expect, but Michael pretty much has this hosting thing down to science. We arrived after Denise (one of his employees) left, so we self checked in, which was basically showing ourselves to our room (super easy to do and find). We stayed in the green room. The view from the balcony and the outdoor shower were awesome!! Our room was very clean and complete with a helpful tip sheet. The bathroom has a cabinet with an assortment of toiletries. Even though it was a shared bathroom, there were two more downstairs, so waiting was never an issue. The gardens were so pretty. I loved the koi pond in the front of the house. He has another room that was under construction called "the cabin", which looks like it will be a pretty sweet addition. The location was excellent. It's very close to downtown, which also means that it's close to the airport, so we did hear some air traffic. The only thing we can think of was that you have to be respectful of other guests as voices tended to carry a little bit and they can probably hear you ;). We had a great time visiting with Michael on our last night. Will definitely look him up the next time we are in San Diego!!
