On a scale of 1-10, Michael and his apartment get a 500! It is one of the most amazing places I've ever visited. Pictures cannot capture the stunning natural beauty of his back yard - I spent a lot of time there just relaxing. My grandchildren and I both enjoyed his aviary, koi pond and emus. The pool is beautiful and clean.

When I first arrived, Michael met me in the driveway and I was immediately made to feel comfortable and at home. He gave me a grand tour of the place and at each step of the way I was amazed and in awe of it all. I was equally amazed at how much thought Michael had apparently put into stocking the apartment. There were snacks and drinks, soaps, shampoos, etc. Michael is a WONDERFUL host!

The apartment itself is also beautiful. The pictures are accurate, but in person it's much more beautiful. The bed is comfortable, there is more than an adequate supply of extra bedding - blankets, pillows, sheets, etc. The shower is AMAZING - it's HUGE and the water pressure is great! The windows in the main area give you a stunning view of the landscape - it feels like being in a magnificent treehouse in the tropics.

The one negative thing I CAN say is that I actually had to leave it all behind. Seriously, I felt SO at home there - relaxed and comfortable - I wish I could stay there forever.
