Michael is wonderful host. He identified local venues for music which he thought I might like to investigate and was happy to suggest other activities. In the end I believe we shared information to the benefit of us both. The location of Michael's flat in the heart of Covent Garden was exactly where I wanted to be. I appreciated having a washing machine available to me and the kitchen was there to use as needed. In the end, Michael struck just the right balance between being friendly and available for conversation and advise and giving me space and privacy.
