Mike's apartment is in an amazing location that is near Central Park and Times Square, and it also has a few Subway lines nearby for places slightly further a field. It is right on 9th Avenue which has a ridiculous amount of restaurants and bars which were all really good. Hells Kitchen also seems quite a trendy area that has a cool edge to it.
The apartment itself was absolutely fine for our needs. We pretty much just slept there and had a few cups of tea in the morning whilst we watched the news. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water and solid amenities.
We had to pick my keys up from a Key Cafe that was a little troublesome. But the guys in the store were very helpful, and after a couple of resets to the system the keys came out the machine.
The flat has a little but more clutter than the pictures show but we appreciated this is a home and New York living is on a more confind scale.
Mike seems a cool guy on our Skype call just before our travels to NYC and he was very helpful and responsive throughout the booking, the build up to the trip and once we arrived etc.
