Michael's place was great! The neighborhood was cute, felt very safe, and was reallyy close to everything you could want. We only used public transport to get to the train station as we were leaving. Everything else we wanted to see was within 30 minutes walking distance. The amentites are sufficient, the bathroom is a little cramped, but overall worth it for the location and the price. We did not get to meet Michael, but he was very kind, responsive, and helpful. He gave us very detailed instructions for getting to his place from the airport, and using the apartment.
