Mikes place was awesome! Honestly the coolest part of the place was how you open the door out to the street, look right, and BOOM, the empire state building is there in clear view across the water! The space is ridiculously close to an AWESOME park by all the luxury apartments where you can relax after a long day of sight seeing, and soak in a full view of the entire island of Manhattan. The location is honestly perfect, just outside the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, but literally a 3 min walk from the train station that takes you into Grand Central 3 stops later. There's plenty of food and grocery spots right next to the place so you can stock up on stuff to eat or cook later on. Also plenty of nice bars and breakfast spots on the same block and surrounding area. Super duper convenient in all capacities.
