Michele's place is great! I've stayed with my wife and the space is very accommodating. The private bathroom is gorgeous and very clean. The shared kitchen also helped a lot as we like to cook, and we got lucky and didn't have to share it. The house is close to metro stations, including express trains which can get you downtown faster. There are also plenty of restaurants, delis, laundromats and markets nearby. Michele is also great, she helped us with lots of things as we had just moved to NY from Brazil. Overall, it's a great place to stay when visiting NY.
