Michael’s place is just amazing! The history of it and his vision for what he wants to make of it is fascinating and exciting! Yes, currently there is a lot of renovation going on that he is very upfront about, however, he was very accommodating with making sure there wasn’t any loud work going on during our stay, which was so appreciated as we flew in on very little sleep and needed a nap. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, so if you like meeting new people — have a conversation with him! He’s a truly interesting person with artistic vision, and if you’re staying before all of his ideas are finished, a quick look around finding out about his plan for it is great! The artwork and aesthetic will make even a weekend trip feel legitimately authentic. Michael even treated us to some fresh squeezed orange juice with kombucha while we looked around. The bed was comfortable, however I would suggest some earplugs for sleeping if you are a light sleeper and staying over a weekend because you are in the heart of lively city nightlife. Speaking of, accessibility by Lyft and train is a breeze to some really great local spots, or even further, as the next station is literally a 5 minute walk over the beautiful scenic bridge straight down the street. We were visiting one of the law schools there and then planned to head out at night for dinner and the location really is perfect for anything. Our bathroom was located up a beautiful staircase, just fyi for any who would want to know the layout. Can’t wait to come back in the warmer weather and check out the progress on his artistic endeavor!
