We stayed at Michael's place for six nights and had an absolutely fantastic time. Michael is very knowledgeable about the area, and it was always a pleasure talking with him.
The apartment and the room itself are tastefully furnished and decorated, and the kitchen provides all necessary utensils to get some cooking done yourself. Just be aware that the street outside is quite busy.
There are multiple great restaurants/eateries nearby, and the subway to midtown/downtown Manhattan is just an eight minute walk away. There is also a bus stop nearby, which will take you crosstown.
All in all, we had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay at Michael's place again.
