Michael's place is a gem. It is beautifully decorated. The bedroom is spacious for New York City and because it's located in the back of apartment, it is quiet. The bed is super comfortable with soft bed linen and lots of pillows. There is a big desk besides it, on which I was happy to get some work done. The location is fantastic. West Village is a charming neighborhood with brownstones, shops and places to eat. It is a 5 to 10 walk to the nearest subway station. I felt safe walking back to Michael's late at night.
The outside and inside of the building is not fancy, but there is a fresh coat of paint on the hallway walls, the stairs have been covered and it is clean. Some of the the stairs are not level, so I just navigated my steps slowly on them. But these are just minor things. I would book Michael's place again in a heartbeat.
