I stayed in Mike's apartment for a month (business trip) and can especially recommend this apartment for any longer stay. Even though the neighbourhood is rather loud (surrounded by many clinics, so ambulance sirenes are constantly going), other residents of the building are quiet and friendly. The bedroom faces the backyard and so getting a restful sleep is not a problem at all. The apartment overall is a bit worn but well maintained. It has everything you need for your everyday life, incl. a kitchen as well as a desk with screen for working from home. The oven doesn't work. However, New York has such a culinary variety (in tastes and pricing) to offer that it would be a shame to cook at home (apart from the coffee and porrdige). Mike is a lovely host. He has always been available and responsive for any question and support, which was really worth a lot. I would definitively stay in his a apartment once again!
