Mike is a fine, conscientious, host. He went to a lot of effort to make my visit easier. Gave me directions, helped me navigate the shows and tickets, loaned me a bicycle helmet, made good recommendations, offered me free reign in the kitchen (although I never used it), was always on time and kept his word. I was a little jumpy about the height of bed and the slightly slippery ladder steps, but was careful and figured out how to get up and down. The apartment is clean but the novelty store humor toys are a little over the top. Regardless, it's a New York experience, and a good one.
