Michael’s house is in a great, safe neighbourhood of DC, and less than a 10 minute walk from Union Station. Michael’s place is basic, as shown on the many photos, but comfortable. The shower is great, and I found both the bed and sofa to be comfortable (I’ve stayed long term in Airbnb’s which have had uncomfortable sofas, and they have been miserable stays - the sofa is now the first thing I look at before considering booking an Airbnb).
In summary, the best thing about Michael’s place is Michael himself. I am a lone female traveler, and my daughter, who lives in the city, spent half of her time here too. We never felt unsafe. Michael is a great guy, very accommodating and hospitable. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip. Thank you Michael.
