Michael's place was a good pick for me. His house has multiple rooms that are rented out through Airbnb, so you end up meeting a number of other folks who are staying there as well. This gives his place a bit of an "hostel-like" feel, which I liked. But his place is considerably more home-like than the average hostel, so it felt more upscale. If you're into meeting or mingling with other people, this is good. If you're looking for a more private experience, you may want to look for something different. Overall, I liked the place and I thought that it was a good value. I'd feel comfortable recommending Michael's house to other guests who are looking to stay near/in the downtown area.
