I really enjoyed my stay at Michael's place and he's a great host. Not a big fan of the neighborhood.
Pros:
Flexible and very accommodating host, close to downtown, hot showers, private space, fridge and kitchen, lots of blankets/towels, smells nice, free drinks
Cons:
Not so comfy sofa bed, trash/dirty all over neighborhood, did not feel safe to go outside at night, microwave but no plates
