My wife and I stayed at Mike's place for 4 nights. First and foremost, Mike is an outstanding host who checks up on his guests to ensure they have what they need, he is a great communicator. We were a little concerned when we arrived as the building itself is quite old and needs some TLC, though we did not feel unsafe whatsoever. When we went into Mike's apartment we were greeted with a great looking sunny view of LA through a colorful and clean apartment. You can definitely tell the apartment is old but obvious Mike has been taking measures to enhance it while keeping the same vibe such as the great brick work in the main room. We did not have any issues with noise or neighbors and enjoyed our stay, especially morning coffees an evening drinks on the balcony.
