I would definitely recommend Michael's place, and it will be the first place I check for availability next time I need to be in NYC. This place is clean and neat and plenty of space for a studio apartment. Michael is an excellent host, checking in with us to make sure we didn't need anything and always quick to reply with any questions we had. The location is perfect, just a couple blocks from Penn Station and only a few more to Times Square. There are grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, and plenty of restaurants in the immediate area. But the apartment is maybe 1/2 block from the nearest avenue, making it quiet in the middle of all the noise of NYC. We felt perfectly safe walking in and around the area, and building is secure. Thanks for making our stay in New York City great!
