Michael was a great host. We felt safe and welcomed in his wonderful loft. It had separate spiral staircase entry, very modern and extremely clean on the inside. It felt very cozy. Krueg coffee was a very nice touch. We came with a cooler full of melted ice and drinks, so the fridge was very much appreciated. The combination door was very convenient as we didn't have to coordinate the exact minute of our arrival. The loft is located within walking distance to a really neat historic cemetery, so the first morning we actually walked to it with our coffee cups. Michael recommended a few places to eat in the area and we followed his advice. The Blind Pelican is so worth it. It's within driving distance and has spectacular oysters. Michael talked to us about his experiences and the neighborhood and made us feel very safe and welcome. Parking wasn't a problem. We parked right next to the entry gate, which is never blocked because Michael put the "do not block" sign in front of it for the convenience of the guest. So we were the only ones allowed to block it. :) In every way - his loft met all of our expectations and more.
