We felt immediately welcome and at home in Michelle's gorgeous apartment. My husband and I were in New York for 10 days and definitely wanted somewhere we would feel at home during that time. The apartment is exactly as the photos show, and was incredibly spacious and comfortable. A great place to relax and unwind after very busy days and nights in and around NYC! Michelle was a great host, and her contact and communication both before our stay and during was prompt and very friendly. She made sure we had all information and everything else we needed, and the key pick up was very easy and straight forward. The apartment is beautifully furnished, with quality linen and towels, and a cook's kitchen with everything you need. A great location, very central in Lower East Side, a lot of great restaurants and bars very nearby, and easy access to the subway. I would highly recommend staying here, particularly if you are having a longer stay. We felt completely at home, and loved feeling part of the neighbourhood. Thanks Michelle!
