Michelle's place was perfect for my 2 friends and I. Her place was close to the subway and there were always taxis around the area if we felt a bit lazy. Michelle was nice enough to provide us with an air mattress which was great. I didn't get to meet Michelle, but her friend Ali was really nice and helpful in getting us situated. Michelle also checked up on us during our stay, to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would definitely recommend her place for anyone who wants to be close to Manhattan!
