Michael's place is very good value for money. Yes, very basic in some areas - espeically appearance wise, but that is made clear in the listing and is represented by the price charged. Kitchen is spacious, with some excellent quality cookware. Large fridge with a plentiful supply of ice already provided. plenty of outdoor areas to spread out. Beds are comfy, hot water readily available and water pressure was great. Some lovely quirky bits of furniture. It met all our needs and expectations for a couple of nights stay. A lovely serene location but still close to city centre. Michael was a gracious friendly host wasn was very prompt with communicaiton. Things to consider: the house is very open plan the only doors/locks are on the bathroom door - didn't bother us in the slightest, but good to know perhaps if you are a larger mixed group. If you're keen to sleep in, maybe bring some eye masks and ear plugs.
