Michael’s place for the most part is great. The location is absolutely amazing. The apartment itself was clean where it counted (bathroom, linens). It is an older building so there are some spots that show it’s wear, but the host has clearly made an effort to make it stylish and homey. Having parking is amazing. While a little tight for larger vehicles and a bit difficult to get to from the one way street, I was very grateful it was included.
My biggest complaint comes just from the fact that I had a difficult check-in. The property uses a self check-in with a lock box. In my case the lock box would not open. I did notice when leaving, that you had to place the keys just right for it to close... so I suspect the person before we just forced it closed without the keys in the correct position, causing it to jam. It ended up taking about 1 1/2 hours to get into the apartment between waiting for a response from the host, troubleshooting, and then ultimately waiting for the host to come let me in. A bit frustrating in the moment... however Rachel (co-host) was very nice and apologetic when she did arrive.
Overall, it was a pretty good place to stay. The location for the price make it worth it.
