Overall, I enjoyed my stay in the Lavender room of Michael's house. It is a wonderful house and Michael and Jeffrey are very skilled at attending to the number of guests who are present in the five or six rooms they rent. The common spaces are really nice, especially those that are outdoors. A lot of care has gone into designing and maintaining this fabulous space. The air traffic is jarring but I found it amusing for the most part and there is a strict curfew so it stops around 11:00PM. It is barely audible in the house.

For me, the Lavender room was a bit plain and I found the bed to be a little uncomfortable. There was a desk with a chair, but the chair was in very poor condition. So while I would recommend staying here, I would suggest trying to get a different room. Although I had almost no interaction with Michael, I found Jeffrey to be a delightful host. There are a lot of people in the house and you need to be prepared for this. There may be conflicts with using the bathroom and so on. (Bathrooms very clean, by the way.) This was not an issue for me but it's worth noting.

All in all, this was a good experience and a great value in a city where hotels are quite expensive.
