Michal is a wonderfully interesting host and the house is quite charming. It has a craftsman feel with curved doorways and effusive foliage outside. But the inside was the treat: Michal has accumulated original craftsman furniture and lighting throughout the house. His collection is near museum quality. Everything: desks, tables, chairs, couches, are all original Stickley or other known craftsman designers.

The bedroom we stayed in was small, only one bed, but adequate. Small but clean bathroom (no soap provided). I think the kitchen could use a remodel to make it more guest-friendly, but we ate out all of our meals so that was not a problem.

Michal went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He even directed us to an exotic wood distributor nearby when he found that we liked woodworking and offered to send us some wood pieces after we left. He's one of the most friendly people I have had the opportunity to meet.
