Mike's place was just as described. It doesn't have many ammenities but the location is so close to the city. The neighborhood was very much a backpackers place and it was loud outside till late at night (we didn't mind but if you are booking you should take note). To get into the apartment you have to walk through an area where the backpackers hang out which might be strange for you. The front desk at the hostel next door takes care of any issues you might have and they are great.
