Michele's place is great for visitors. The location is wonderful: close to shops, subway, bus. It's also surprinsingly quiet during the night, as it is so close to 1st avenue.
The apartment is nicely decorated and you can find everything you need in it.
The only con-s are: the staircase going up to the 5th floor are smelly and narrow.
Would definitely stay here again and would reccomend Michele's place.
