Michael was a great host from booking to leaving the city. My girlfriend and I decided the day before leaving for our trip that we wanted to go to NYC and he made the trip even easier by making suggestions as well as providing a comprehensive travelers guide for the city. Michael's communication was great before the trip letting us know what to expect and what his schedule would be like on the day of arrival. He also stayed in touch throughout our time in the city. His place is very clean, up to date, and the sofa bed was very comfortable. Definitely a safe part of town and is only a 5 minute walk to the 2/3 train which will take you right down into the heart of Manhattan.
The best part, Michael loves to cook and he loves cooking for his guests. All three mornings he had breakfast waiting when we got up and sat to converse with us about our previous day and the day ahead. Would highly recommend this host!
