I stayed over Mike's place for 6 months. We shared the apt during my time there. Mike's spot is 5 minutes from Montefiore Hospital with great connections to east and west Manhattan through the 4 and D train. In a few minute's walk, you can get what you need on Bainbridge Av or Gunhill road. Pharmacies, bodegas, delis, depots, local markets for groceries or the local post office. The hood is nice and you feel safe when you walk around. The apt is comfy with a nice view on the Resevoir oval park, and the laundry is located in the lower lobby in the building so that you don't have to find a laundromat to wash your clothes.
There's more, actually. Mike is awesome. No other words to describe the guy. He's such a caring person and I felt immediately at ease since the first time I met him. It was nice to feel like being part of his family.
Great experience. I would make this choice again and again.
Thank you, buddy! Won't forget! Yeahman!
