Michal is a most warm hearted host. I enjoyed staying at his place, a musician / artist type of home with lots of stuff that intrigues. He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable. Drove me to rental car place. Showed me to downtown Pasadena. Gave me various tips. We also had pleasant conversations about local museums and happenings every now and then when meeting each other in the kitchen. A charming experience!
