We had an amazing time staying at Michael's place. He was extremely friendly and helpful. He had pamphlets available of NYC and sight-seeing information. The brownstone was in a nice neighborhood and located right by the subway and bus stops - that made it very easy to get around. The place was quiet and we had fun sleeping on the loft bed. Michael provided some snacks and we fed the squirrels and birds on the deck with some of the granola bars. We really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to anyone!! He recommended we eat at Jacobs - the food was incredibly good, not too pricey and within walking distance. There is a coffee shop a few doors down that had good pastries and coffee...but a bit too pricey. There is also a grocery store at the corner - very convenient.
