Nice place to stay. There were restaurants within walking distance. We did take a car service to most sightseeing places. This was mainly to save time and it was fairly warm while there. Overall a nice place to stay. Host was in touch with us while we stayed. Place felt safe and secure.

We had a few of our employees stay here for the week while working out of town. We couldn’t ask for anything better from the host to the accommodation. When we’re back in town for work we plan on staying here again!

Nice property, great location. House is on a steep hill, think San Francisco so parking may be a challenge if you are not used to this. We came home late one night and all street parking was taken up so we had to street park a couple of blocks away.

Quick stay for MCRD Grad

Property was clean, well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. It was a tight fit for our family of six, but we knew that going into it. Michael was extremely communicative throughout our stay. Easy access to the freeway and a quick trip to MCRD. Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay.

Friend's B-day Padre game Sleepover

Loved our stay here and can't wait to come back! Six of us slept here very comfortably and we had everything we needed. We utilized the BBQ and enjoyed the city under the stars without having to go out and spend a ton of money. It was a quick inexpensive ride to the Padre game and back. Our host had the perfect amount of communication. Can't wait to stay here again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Tighe

Host profile image
I have been living in San Diego since moving here for the Navy back in 2006 and I absolutely love it! I thoroughly enjoy being an AirBnb Host and I'll do everything in my power to make sure your stay is as amazing as possible.

Feel free to message me with any specific questions!

By day I work as an Air Traffic Controller. I love Scuba Diving, Hiking, & Flying (small planes).

I'm a well traveled AirBnb guest, and I try to learn from the mistakes of other hosts to ensure I'm not committing them as well.

My favorite countries visited: Indonesia, Thailand, & Croatia.

Be sure to ask me about the best Whiskey Bar in town or my favorite place for brunch!
