Almost everything is in easy walking distance; for all else, transportation is nearby. There is elevator access from the garage level, with plenty of locked gates between the outside and inside. It seems very secure. Being at the edge of Temple Bar, there is more than enough night-life nearby. We were there for 7 days. It was quiet most nights but Friday and Saturday we did hear spurts of rambunctious activity into the wee morning. There were no bars open on the street below us; I believe the noise was just spillover from down the road.
Amenities in the room were great. Since we'd already been traveling for a few weeks, we made good use of the clothes washer. It efficiently drove out most of the residual water so clothes drying on the rack was effective. He also had laundry soap in the room as well as a variety of spices, coffees and other dry food items. There were also plenty of towels, sheets, etc.
If there was a weakness, I would say the bed. It was too firm both for me and my wife. Let it be known we are a seniors couple, active but not active into the evening. So we would highly recommend Micheal's place to younger couples looking for a somewhat quiet place near the party scene. Seniors like us who enjoy city life will also fit in quite well here.
