We loved our stay at Michael’s place. So much so that we extended it by 2 additional nights. In doing so we also got to experience 2 different rooms. Both exceptionally clean and the total environment warm, inviting and magical.
Carlos, the on-site manager, was friendly and there to help with any possible needs. Michael himself answered all emails and questions almost immediately. He worked with us for a seamless transition when we decided to stay longer.
The kitchen and common seating areas in the home were very clean and well decorated. Our first and favorite room was the Green Room. Like everything else, it was very clean. We loved our outdoor shower which was next to the back door of our room on our private balcony. The shared bathroom was just down the hall and, need I say it again, VERY CLEAN.
We loved the gardens that were situated throughout the property with ample seating. The settings were very tranquil and green. We loved the swinging chairs. We ate dinner one night in the upper garden and had coffee the next morning on the lower.
Although there were other guests, we felt like we had our privacy but when we encounter someone they always seemed to be like-minded people and very friendly.
We are very familiar with San Diego and Michael's place is conveniently located to all the places we wanted to go - Little Italy, Balboa Park, and the Gaslamp. If you are a walker, you can even leave your car and walk to Little Italy and Balboa Park. Even though the property is under the flight path, we were not bothered by noise. In fact, we even left the balcony door open all night. The view from there was tremendous day and night. The bed was comfy.
I highly recommend Michael's property. He cares and offers so much. Please look at the photos and if it looks like your kind of place, do yourself a favor and book a room.
