I could not have asked for a better host or location. I was in town for a work conference and all the hotels downtown were charging double or triple the normal rate. Michael's place was a fantastic value for the price- the views were stunning, the gardens gorgeous, and it had a very warm, almost hostel-like vibe. I was able to walk to the convention center (it is about a mile and a half away) no problem. Overall a great experience- would recommend.
