We are a retired couple who stayed at the apartment for 3 weeks and found it perfectly suitable for us. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood but has commercial districts within a mile or two of the premises. We found the space roomy enough for us, the kitchen workable for breakfasts and suppers, the closet large and full of hangers and the bathroom accessible. The stairs from the street level provided exercise but were not formidable.

The view of the garden from our tree height windows and deck was wonderful and the fact that it provides its own microclimate that is cooler than the street level making it a welcome refuge from hot weather. Michael gave us a grand tour of the aviaries, the koi pond and, of course, the emus. Michael is an excellent host, available for questions but not intrusive. All in all it was a delightful experience.
