Michael was incredibly friendly and accommodating, but even though I was essentially living in someone else's home, at no point did I feel unwelcome or uncomfortable. He even invited me out to a party which allowed me to socialise within minutes of arriving in the city.

I didn't actually get to meet everyone in the apartment as they are all busy people and I found myself busy too, but it was a nice clean space in a pretty hip and fun area. The room was comfortable with a desk and closet space and some handy guidebook which I probably should have used. I had my privacy, but was also able to ask Michael for info and he always was happy to oblige.

Overall, a genuinely good experience. I happily recommend.
