My husband and I stayed at Michael's place for 4 night midweek in February. Our original booking was for 3 nights but we requested a 4th which was easily arranged. The place is a basement studio of a type typical in Brooklyn. The host lives upstairs in the main house. The studio was well put together for functionality, clean and uncluttered. Both kitchen and bathroom are modern, and there is a washer/dryer on site as well. Michael responded within minutes to any question. We felt safe in this neighborhood walking about after dark, and could access several restaurants, a bodega, and a subway station on foot easily. I would recommend Michael's place.
