This is a great place, good value for money!
On forehand, I was a bit sceptical because of the height and the airplanes. Luckely, the height is not much of a problem, even for a person like me who's taller than 6 ft.
Regarding the airplanes, San Diego airport isn't that busy and they hardly fly during the night (so I slept well). Besides that, the house is well isolated.
The location is good: a quiet and save neighbourhood, within walking distance of the inner city (Little Italy and the Glaslamp district).
Michael is a great host: he responds quickly (sometimes within seconds!) and adequately.
Highly recomended, especially if you travel on a small budget like me.
