I chose mike's place because I was attending a conference at the Sheraton just around the corner, and he was way cheaper than the hotel especially so short notice. I met up with him at the Tim horton's near his place and then he walked me in. Building has a nice lobby with a doorman. His apartment was beautiful and clean with a great view. I wish I could have stayed longer! I also forgot a towel and he had clean towels provided. The location and value is hard to beat. There's really no reason to stay at the hotel instead of at his place.
