Mike’s place is great for budget travelers and those who don’t expect to spend much time indoors. The location is great and an easy walk to the metro as well and tons of great restaurants and bars. The shared kitchen and bathrooms did get a little dirty from other tenants during our stay, but they were tidied quickly. The noise from the first floor bar hardly bothered us even without using the ear plugs Mike kindly provided, but I could understand how it could bother some.
