This was my first trip to San Diego and Michelle’s home was the perfect spot to be situated. The neighbourhood is quiet, safe, with very friendly neighbours and locals. The space comes exactly as described (very zen and relaxing) as does her cat Cali (I doubt I will meet another cat as welcoming and friendly). The bed is very comfortable and sleep was easy. The area offers many amenities including coffee shops, great little restaurants (do not pass up a chance to eat at the Big Kitchen!) and a small gym that offers $10 daily guest passes only a five minute walk away (South Park Fitness). In addition to the neighbourhood, Michelle is a top- notch communicator and a great host. Overall, I would highly recommend this home for solo travellers or couples visiting SD.
