I have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past four months. Both Michael and his wife have been gracious hosts. Michael responds quickly when contacted and resolves issues in a timely manner. The apartment is in excellent condition and is larger than pictured. The kitchen is equipped with a sink, microwave, refrigerator, wine cooler and beer tap. Because of my lengthy stay, I purchased a toaster oven, single burner hot plate, some cookware, and a few utensils. Michael was very responsive when the refrigerator stopped working properly. A new, larger refrigerator was installed within a week. There is a small storage space across from the kitchen that was perfect for storing suitcases and containers. The large closet has additional shelving that I used in lieu of a dresser. The bathroom is lovely with plenty of glass shelves for storage. The large, glass shower has excellent water pressure. The private deck expands the amount of livable space and the wooded view is serene. The shared washer and dryer are easily accessible. There are a total of 48 steps (31 outside, 17 inside) to reach the living space. I've ended up in better shape just from living here! The neighborhood is very safe and I have enjoyed walking the steep, winding streets. Montclair Village is conveniently located 5-10 minutes away and has a variety of shops, restaurants and services. I have enjoyed my time in the Oakland Hills and will miss living here.
