We had high expectations based on all of the glowing reviews, but Mike’s Place exceeded in many ways. If you need something look around, open a drawer and yes, Mike thought of it!
Clean and comfortable and both the garden and the cottage had so many nice touches.
We found the location perfect. We had a rental car but wanted to avoid the traffic and parking hassles that go with visiting the popular restaurants. Turn left out of the path from Mike’s and catch the bus. (Purchase a $7 all-day pass right on the bus and take the bus or trolley all day - route 15 is express to downtown). If you prefer to walk, turn right on Lincoln & then left on Vermont and take the footbridge over to the shopping area. Walk a few more blocks and you are in the heart of it all.
We tried Bread & CIE (twice!), Chocolat, Tapas Picasso, The Tractor Room and Local Habit. Check out their websites for info on their Happy Hour deals. All were enjoyed and all are within walking distance from Mike's Place.
If you don't want to leave the cottage, a quick stop at nearby Ralph's or Trader Joe's and with Mike's coffee pot, refrigerator and microwave are set.
Thanks for a great experience!
