Michael is so nice, and a perfect host: making sure everything was ok for us, always quick to respond to any queries, and really accommodating if we needed anything. The house is very well-equipped, modern and stylish, and in a really convenient location for getting to the shops, the University, or the city centre, with a very regular bus service literally outside the building. The neighbourhood is residential, you felt very safe walking around.
We're used to quiet and dark nights in our place in the UK, so we did find the roadside location very loud and bright (there are no dark blinds / curtains in the bedroom), and the AC is effective but quite loud. However, Michael provided good eye covers and ear plugs for us, which did help, but we did find we had disrupted sleep as it wasn't what we were used to. The plus-side of course is the apartment has a lot of natural light which is great during the day, and you don't have to walk far at all to get on the bus.
