How can we even put this magical weekend into words? The green room was fantastic! We truly enjoyed viewing the unbeatable San Diego sunsets from our own private deck attached to our room. (plus of course lounging on the back patio with coffees in our hands, sun on our skin and smiles on our faces). Can you tell how excited we were to escape from Boston to this warm, accommodating home for a weekend ? We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to San Diego. We easily walked to nearly everywhere we needed to go: Balboa Park/the zoo, Broadway Pier, Little Italy, etc. We didn't have a car and we only ever needed to take a cab when we visited La Jolla for a day (about a 20 min ride from Michael's place). Everything seemed too easy! Crazy good location.

Michael offered great recommendations for dining/attractions in the local area including the delectable and authentic Ortega's mexican bistro in Hill Crest, the Fish Market near Broadway pier and visiting Coronado Island. During our long weekend in San Diego we also really enjoyed viewing the sunset over drinks at Mr. A's rooftop bar, sushi at Askuki and breakfast at the Cottage in La Jolla (get the breakfast sandwich and smoothie).

Another highlight of our trip was doing a 90 minute sea cave tour via kayak in La Jolla. We rented kayaks from Hike Bike Kayak in La Jolla via a groupon deal and had an excellent experience. Shout out to Jill and Nick, our awesome kayak tour guides!

We are already looking forward to our return to San Diego and staying with Michael again. He was unbelievably accommodating and an expert about the area.

5 big shiny stars for this place!!!
