An amazing place to stay.

Michael had sent me instructions on how to check in myself in case he might not be around when I arrive. This made check-in super convenient. On my way in, I immediately walked into other guests of the house, which have been very diverse group of people and a lot of fun to hang out with.

Then I went to my room to be positively surprised that Michael had put me in a private cottage with its own bathroom and mini-kitchen. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage was tastefully decorated. The outside deck is a bit messy but was still very charming. I didn't really notice the air planes that are flying over the property throughout the day, and they didn't impede my sleep.

The public rooms in the house were very clean, beautifully decorated and invited to sit and run into other guests or the host, Michael. The common kitchen was clean and well-stocked with all the needs of a traveller.

As a host, Michael went above and beyond any expectations one could have: He showed me around the local bar scene and gave amazing guidance with regards to different cultural activities. Michael strives to make sure all his guests are having a pleasurable stay.

Furthermore, the house is in a perfect location to walk to different interesting areas like Downtown, the Gaslamp district, Balboa Park and even the Hillcrest.

It has been an absolute pleasure to stay with Michael, and I can wholeheartedly recommend staying there.
