Michael's place is - and feels like - a complete home, with everything you need to feel comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with good cookware and basic cooking essentials, and there was even a bottle of sake and some beers in the fridge that added to the sense that the place was my home during my stay.
Michael checked me in in-person and made me feel immediately welcome by encouraging me to set the heat to my comfort level (It was an unusually cold weekend) and showing me where and how to do laundry if I wanted. The place was incredibly clean, and the shower is AWESOME (good water pressure and shower head). Wifi was also really fast.
It's also two doors down from an outstanding Laotian restaurant (Champa Garden) that's the pride of the neighborhood.
This place would have been great for a long-term stay and I was sorry to have to leave after 2 days.
