Mike was very accesible and always checking on us. His place is very well located, we walked just a few blocks to go to broadway, Times Square, Rockefeller Centre and many many restaurants. It has a store/market at the corner with 9th avenue that's open 24/7 and is very helpful. The building looks old, but Mike keeps his apartment very clean. There is a subway station just two blocks away. The shower works great and it has hot water that comes out wonderfully after a long day being cold outside. Heat works good as well, bed very comfortable with clean sheets. The street is very quiet even though it's near a lot of restaurants and shops, but we could hear our neighbor at night every time he went to the bathroom as if he was going to ours. Overall, I thinks it was a satisfactory experience.
