We enjoyed our stay at Michael’s place. We only stayed for a few days, but the accommodations were perfect for 2 of us. The parking spot in the driveway was definitely a bonus. I can’t speak to the cooking pots/pans/utensils but the dishes and glasses were nice. Never used a French press before for coffee but after a quick google search I had no problems. It is close to a busy street but I never had a problem with road noise.great spot would stay again!
