I booked this place for my parents when they were visiting since I live in the neighborhood. I cannot stress strongly enough how fantastic Michael was as a host and how great the apartment is. It was immaculately clean, and stocked with everything you could need. He was even kind enough to include some basics in the fridge - beer, OJ, etc. There were nice touches that made it feel like home for the weekend, reading and a few magazines on NYC out on the coffee table. Windows on both sides of the living room provided natural light all day. A 1 or 2 block walk from the subway, and no problem coming and going as needed. A working washer and dryer which we used over the weekend was an excellent perk. The bed was really comfortable, and overall the place has a really great vibe to it. I hope to use Michael's place again in the future.
