I had the most amazing time in NYC! Mike was a great host- very polite, responsive, and took the time to recommend all of his favorite places. Mike spent the weekend in Jersey, but was still able to keep in touch to answer any random questions that popped up during my stay. His 2 roommates were home through the weekend and they were both really nice and welcoming.
The room and apartment are both pretty small and bare boned. If you're looking for a crash pad to rest your feet after a long day of walking/site seeing, this will be absolutely perfect.
Girls who stay here- the only mirror in he entire apartment is the one over the bathroom sink. That made hair and makeup a bit challenging! Also, this is definitely a dudes apartment- no frills.
Overall a great stay in a great neighborhood. I felt super safe the entire time and was out and about long after sunset. Would definitely recommend this to NYC first timers or people who don't plan to be in the room often.
