Mio’s apartment is very conveniently located on the 8th Ave, 14th street subway stop! It was such a joy to step out, turn right to the end of the block and be on my way. I also appreciated very much that he kindly allowed me to drop off my carry on when I arrived even though it was not check-in time. He was similarly flexible when I needed to delay retrieving the same luggage for an evening flight — which helped out greatly since it allowed me to get in the last bit of city exploration before my trip ended. Temperatures at night got down to 35 degrees but it remained toasty inside due to a powerful heating unit. The gallon of water he left behind for me in the fridge came in handy for replenishing my water bottle before I started off each day. Thanks, Mio!
