After a long day of travelling, Michael's home was a welcome retreat. The room is as pictured, with beautiful touches, nice ambience and very cosy. The snacks were also a very kind and thoughtful touch, and very much appreciated :)
I arrived about 4.30pm in the afternoon and found check-in to be very easy. Once settled, I was just 15 minutes walk from Alberta where I got to explore the creative district. and have food at the tasty Bollywood theatre, and ice cream for dessert at the delicious Salt and Straw, next door.
The neighbourhood is very cute with some lovely houses. It felt safe walking through at night, especially as a solo traveller. Hawthorne and Division are within easy each by bus, as is downtown. Having said this it would be great to have some bus info in the room with a basic map of where the bus stops are located in relation to the house in order to get initial bearings. Unfortunately my Google maps didn't always work so i often got lost! I would recommend Michael's place to stay. Communication was easy and friendly. Thank you again for hosting me.
