I didn't have the chance to meet with Michael as he was away, however his friend, Eric and Nita, the housekeeper welcomed me to the house. He was very helpful and friendly, gave tips for sightseeing and even arranged my taxi back to the airport.
If you will be out most of the time/evenings and are not a light-sleeper, it is highly recommended; as you might hear the planes passing by although I didn't hear a thing at night time and there is no supermarket to do grocery shopping nearby.
