I stayed with Michael for 3 months and a week. Michael's place is close to the VTA Light Rail which I took everyday to work. The neighborhood is also very safe. Michael is really good in the kitchen (salads, different kinds of bread, muffins, and steaks, among others). Especially, his signature muffins are really good and always available. You could make fun and long conversations with Michael on a variety of subjects in case you need someone to talk to. Michael genuinely cares about the well-being of his guests as well.
