Michael’s place is reasonably priced, is in a good neighbourhood, comes with all basic amenities and is overall good BUT the reviews are not kidding when they say the walls are thin. The walls are super super thin and porous (?). Not only could I hear everything being said by the people in the adjacent unit but I could also smell their cooking and their detergent.
Since we were mostly out, this didn’t bother us too much. Only on Saturday night did the noise go on past 10pm. But if we were too stay indoors longer, it could become a concern.
The kitchen and bathroom are equipped. The only thing I felt could be improved was - clean the inside of the dustbin and maybe offer a dryer along with the washer. Vancouver gets so much rain that drying the clothes on a rack was not an option for us at all.
Overall, nice host and nice budget stay. Would recommend for its location and proximity to public transportation.
