Michael is a very gracious host who is very pleasant and thoughtful. He will offer you bicycles to rent and help guide you around should you wish to explore the pedestrian side of BA. He is happy to chat and talk with you and makes for pleasant company.
The place was a little untidy or unorganized (as expected in a students appartment) but the bedroom itself was very clean. Nice shower too with good hot water and a rooftop view that shouldn't be missed.
