Great place for a couple and excellently located in the East Village. Michael is very accommodating. We missed having a "how-to" list of answers to some of our everyday questions (how to turn on heat or what to do with the garbage etc.). It would have saved a lot of questions of ours being sent Michael's way.
Also (and this is no fault of Michael's), the heat in the apartment is sporadic. It was quite cold when we arrived our first evening, and the heat also only sporadically kicked in during the rest of our stay.
Having a shower was also an adventure. No 2 days were the same in regards to temperatures! Also no fault of Michael's!
We would totally recommend this place to friends, and hope to return ourselves.
