Michael was a great host! Coordination and communication with him was smooth and easy all throughout, even before we arrived at his place. He always responded promptly to queries and was very helpful and kind. At one point, there was nearly a misunderstanding, but he handled it graciously and we cleared it up quickly. The place itself is beautiful and spacious, as well as well-equipped. We had everything we needed to prepare home-cooked meals. A nice touch was the bottle of wine that he left to greet us upon arrival. I would recommend this to other possible guests.
