Mike was able to meet us early and allow us to leave our things before handover. Very friendly. The space is great, with room to spread out. Very eclectic, fun furnishings. The apartment has a real sense of character about it. At the time of booking, we were made aware that the kitchen was limited. There was a fridge, toaster oven, microwave, electric hotplate and coffee maker but it's really only for the most basic of cooking/food prep. That said, there are a lot of great places to eat within walking distance. We enjoyed the location, a mix of residential and commerical space. The neighbourhood is lively, with lots of people about and we felt safe enough to wander about in the evening. It's not the most quiet place you'll ever stay (people noise and a little traffic), but I think that's probably typical of much of New York and we didn't find it a problem. It was close to several subway lines, and it doesn't take you long to get the lie of the land, especially on foot. Thanks Mike, we really enjoyed our stay.
