Arriving during a snowstorm from sunny California where it was 70° was quite a change. A change that could have left me freezing cold and without any desire to head on out to attend a conference and do some exploring. Michael's place is so welcoming and a shelter from the "haven't-had-this-bad of-April-in-forever" storm. I felt rested and energized enough to tackle that weather outside knowing I could retreat into this amazing, historic place. The amenities were above and beyond what I was expecting, and the place was toasty warm. The location is perfect, a little noisy as it's downtown, but to be expected. And Michael is the epitome of a great host: available to answer any questions and provide support and guidance. A great experience overall!
