Michael's room is in a very nice condo in a tall, 3-story walk up. Michael is friendly, and his space is as described. However, he is very particular about his house rules. A few things that made my stay less comfortable were:
--When you rent this, you are literally booking his bedroom. He tells you explicitly not to open any drawers or closets. I stayed 4 nights, and there was nowhere to lay out clothes or spread out.
--Although you have your own bedroom and attached bathroom, it feels like there is no privacy here. There is basically zero sound-proofing. I felt uncomfortable making almost any noise because I knew it could probably be heard outside the room. I was alone, so this wasn't a huge problem, but I can't imagine taking a friend or significant other.
--Michael works from home. He had multiple video meetings, it seemed, loudly in the common space. This is his home, and obviously, he has every right to do this, but why not use some headphones when you know sound travels so easily and have guests? It seemed unnecessarily loud for me to be able to hear the other parties on his meetings.
Overall, this space is physically beautiful, and the rooftop view is amazing. The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but I always felt safe in the building. Although Michael is outwardly friendly and welcomed me in his home, I just didn't feel at home. I barely stayed in the room a few hours a night to sleep, so it worked out fine for me. However, if you're planning on staying in the room a lot, or booking with someone else, this might not be the best place.
