First, let me say that this was a great experience. Michael is a great -- friendly, easy-going, accommodating and caring -- host and the place is great.
But this is not for everyone. If you are looking for a luxury hotel with a big bed and TV -- look somewhere else. This is an artists' loft, as the description says, with the quirks that come with it (and located next to Skid Row). But it is what AirBnB is also about - an experience, not just a place to sleep. Though I mostly had to work and sleep -- but it was way more enjoyable here than it would have been in a boring hotel in the middle of nowhere. After all, if I wanted a hotel, I'd go to booking.com or some such.
So - I highly recommend Mike's place, but for a particular kind of people. You know who you are.
P.S. As a practical matter, the location is pretty good in terms of getting around downtown; the building is secure (and has its own parking which is also secure - behind a locked gate); and, since it may be a concern it being a loft - there is good privacy (and lots of space too).
