I had an excellent stay at Mike's apartment. The location was just as convenient as he described. I can't imagine a better location, especially for the price. The subway is less than a block away and it's only a 10 minute walk to the High Line and about 15 minutes to the Javits Center.
Mike is a very friendly host and a fun person to talk to. He's lived in the city for quite awhile so he can always point you in the right direction. He also offers you the use of his kitchen, TV, and Wi-Fi. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely try to stay here again next time I visit NYC.
