The garden cottage is a nice and quite (if you don't mind the occasional plane noise) corner in Michael's fantastic and colorful house. It's really comfortable to have a private bath and the cottage offers everything one could possibly need. We had a great time! Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Michael, but his house manager Eric gave us a warm welcome and all the information we needed. The house feels very friendly and there are other travelers staying there, which is nice for a chat etc.
The house is very close to Little Italy where you can find great coffee and a nice breakfast. Downtown is not too far either.
We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place!
