Michael is a wonderful host. His correspondence is prompt and courteous also full of tips and tricks to make your stay enjoyable. Michael's wonderful, artsy apartment was perfect: cozy and centrally located. We really enjoyed having all the comforts of home at our fingertips, including washer and dryer in the building and especially the convenience of having a kitchen (which was stocked with all sorts of extras: coffee, tea, spices, water and other goodies in the fridge). The convenience of wi-fi was also a plus. We arrived earlier than he normally checks folks in, but he graciously allowed us to call him from the airport and met us within 30 minutes. The apartment's location in The Beverly hills district was fantastic. There is an abundance of all types of restaurants, shops, bars and the like within a 5 block radius. Overall a great experience and a steal for the price and location. Thanks Michael.
