Michael is a superb host. In fact, this is the second time we stayed with him and sought out properties that he manages because of our wonderful trip last year. This year was no different! The apartment is in a wonderful location and building - tons of character, super quiet (on the interior side of the building) but in a lovely location that is walkable to great restaurants, shops, and famous sights. The apartment has MORE than the essentials...a well stocked kitchen to prepare multi course meals. We enjoyed the blackout curtains for days when we wanted to sleep in a bit. As a host, Michael is exceptionally responsive and accommodating. We arrived early and he was able to meet us and store our bags making check in a breeze! Communication before, during, and after our stay has been wonderful. HIGHLY recommend staying here or at any property that Michael manages.
