Michael's place is perfect for someone who is looking to disconnect a bit and enjoy the city. It is in the BEST neighborhood. 1.5 blocks away from the bike-share hub and a Whole Foods, cabs running right outside the front door. 14th Street is a bustling neighborhood of pubs, restaurant, places to get a craft cocktail or just a simple brew. If you're looking for a place that is fully entertaining to stay in and not leave, this probably isn't the place for you (no Wifi for instance). For us, it was a great place to sleep, read, and rest; then we'd feel the itch to get out and enjoy the city because of the simplicity of his place. It is exactly what we wanted and what fits our personality.

Michael is kind, warm and an excellent host. He went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and had a pleasant stay. Michael is an example of why AirBNB is great: real people being kind to other real people - not a hotel or a resort. Just mutual respect. Also, he has great taste in books.

If my wife and I head back to DC, he will be our first call. The highest of recommendations!
