MIKE'S PLACE - A PRIVATE COTTAGE

Lincoln Ave, San Diego
- Entire home/apt
- 2 Guests
- 16 Reviews
- $120

I am a painter and an art instructor and have worked in the field for thirty years. I have lived in this residence for 26 years and have applied all of my skills and interest to restoring this house to its historic roots. I was delighted when my zero-scape garden won the neighborhood award and was mentioned in a "Sunset Magazine" walking tour of the area. I spend most of my time painting in the art studio and therefore, enjoys the opportunity to meet people from other places.

Mike is the essence of Mike’s Place. He is the perfect host; responding immediately to any request and always checking to see if you need anything. We spent more time at the cottage than planned, opting for a salad from the local grocery store to be eaten at the cottage over going to a restaurant. We enjoyed the place that much! Mike is an accomplished artist and his place brings out the artist in your soul. We are leisure photographers. There are many scenic spots in San Diego, but we often... More »

We stayed at Mike's place for one week and enjoyed everything about it. Mike was a perfect host and his Craftsman Style Cottage is a wonderful private retreat - comfortable in every aspect. This was our first experience with airbnb - the entire transaction went smoothly. Thank you Mike - we will see you next time we are in San Diego.

Wow, I can't wait to go back to Mike's place! The whole property is just a gem: gorgeous, private, quiet, and located very centrally (in Hillcrest with easy access to highways and major thoroughfares). The cottage was spotless, historic, and comfortably appointed. The garden is an extra special treat! Our trip was unusually rainy, but we didn't mind. There's no way to get cabin fever in this place. Mike was a gracious host. He dropped off extra umbrellas and towels, and made sure all of our... More »

Perfect! If you need a place to stay in San Diego -- this is ideal for a couple. Super clean, nicely appointed, beautiful little hideaway, well situated with a great host. 100% recommended! We had a great time.

We had such a good stay for two nights with Mike. It was so comfortable, well appointed and beautiful. The garden is something of a wonderland and the amenities of wifi, parking and local shops were all excellent. Mike made us feel very welcome and he is extreemly charming. I would stay there again without hesitation and my only regret was that we were on business and had less opportunity to relax. Thank you Mike. Nick and Cressida

Excellent place. The location was central with easy access to everywhere we wanted to go, and we walked to lots of places. The house was perfect, clean, elegant, beautifully finished in the old craftsman style with wood trim everywhere. Loved it! Highly recommended.

This beautifully crafted and furnished cottage is truly a special place...especially if you appreciate architecture and gardens! A real gem in a terrific area of San Diego, a five minute walk across the footbridge to Trader Joe's in Hillcreast and within walking distance of Balboa Park. The hosts, Mike and Larry, have done a fabulous job of designing a lovely and tranquil setting. Plus, they're very friendly and welcoming! One note to potential visitors, while the cottage is a real... More »

Mike's place is, in all respects, immaculate. I made a last minute decision to visit a very special person in San Diego and needed a place to stay, pronto. Hotels can be a bit pricey. Thank you Mike, for coming to the rescue. A wonderful host. An exceptional deal. A memorable time.
