Mike is a gracious host. He is kind and his willingness to offer suggestions was great. It is a bedroom you are renting and a clean bathroom you are sharing. You are free to come and go as you please. The area is trendy Williamsburg and if you are staying around this area, great location. If you are focusing your sights on Manhattan's tourist attractions, it is a bit of a distance. You have to walk 6/10 of a mile to the nearest Subway Station but then you're off and running. You have use of his kitchenette and the nearest Whole Foods is just a few blocks down the neighborhood. Thank you Mike for hosting us!
