We had a great time staying at Michael's studio. He is aiming for a boutique hotel feel, and he has certainly achieved it! He was very amenable to both letting us check in early and to leaving bags for a few hours after check out. Michael also gave us a really friendly welcome and checked if we needed anything mid-stay. The welcome-basket he left us was a lovely touch.
The bed is super comfy, there is excellent wi-fi and tv and the apartment in general is clean and finished to a high-spec.
The apartment is well-placed within Capitol Hill - close to shops, a sizeable supermarket and transport (Light Rail and buses). It is only a 5-10 minute walk up to the quieter streets (with lovely restaurants and bars) around 15th E.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
