We had a great time staying at Mike's place.
The studio was exactly as one would expect by reading Mike's ad and looking at the pictures. It was what we expected and that is NOT a bad thing.
First and foremost, the location is perfect. You can't get "more downtown" than this. If you're looking for a place that you can literally step out of the building and get lost in the city's buzz & hustle this is the place to stay.
Then you consider the actual studio flat that was super clean and very stylish. It leans on the industrial kind of design/look & feel but not too much. We loved the way it was actually designed to make everything work for such a small place, because yes, the flat is small but I can't imagine why a couple or a single traveler would require a larger space unless they were to stay for more than a couple of weeks.
Mike has equipped the flat with everything you may require, from an iron board to a hair dryer and all the basic amenities like kitchenware and toiletries. But even if you are missing something there is a well-stocked mini-market 3 doors down.
The building is safe and clean, the area is very safe also even late at night and you have tons of options for shopping, food and drinks and sightseeing.
All in all a great experience that we'd definitely favor again.
