Michael's place was located in a very convenient area - Capitol Hill is filled with lots of cool bars and restaurants within a 10-20 minute walk from the apartment. One thing to note is that this apartment is located in the basement, so you will need to walk on a stone path in the yard to the back of the place (not very suitcase friendly) and down a flight of stairs to access the unit.
The place was very clean, however the photos made it seem much larger than it was - I would estimate it at around 350 sq. ft, with a pretty tight washroom. The unit was also quite old, and we encountered a few issues as a result. Upon initially walking in, my sister mentioned that she smelled gas - I brushed it off thinking it was just a funny smell because the apartment was old. We decided to message Michael anyways because we were a little concerned. His co-host Heidi, was very responsive and arrived on site with a technician within the hour. The technician identified that the gas valve attached to the stove was leaking, but that it shouldn't be dangerous. At that point, Heidi left with the technician but mentioned that the valve wouldn't be fixed for the duration of our stay. We felt that even though the leak wasn't life threatening, it could have been fixed the next day while my sister and I were out all day (as is usually the case for people when travelling). On another morning, we had an issue with the toilet water leaking onto the floor and pooling around the sink. I sent Michael a message before we left for the day and when we got back the toilet was completely fixed and there was fresh towels hung up for us.
Overall, we were happy with Michael's responsiveness to address issues, albeit not taking all possible measures to improve the experience. The photos are a little misleading in representing the size of the space, but I would still recommend this place given its location if you are willing to stay in an older, smaller space and are willing to work with Michael to resolve issues.
