Michael’s place was great in terms of location. Lots of sights are within walking distance, and there are a plethora of markets and eateries close by. We were pleasantly surprised that there was a portable air conditioner in the unit (although the venting is somewhat inefficient, you just have to put the vent outside the window without a seal). We also used the washing machine, but it does not seem to work properly. Michael was very easy to reach by phone call, but not necessarily by messaging. So please make sure you have access to a telephone if you need to reach him.
