Mike’s place is perfect for short or long term stays. I spent my first month in NY here. The place is exactly as described and accurate to the pictures. It’s a safe residential-feeling neighborhood and 10-15 min walk from great restaurants and bars. Subway is an easy 15 min walk, it’s 5 mins walk from the waterfront and an easy 10-15 min walk to Astoria park which is beautiful. Mike is an exceptional host - very quick to respond and help with any questions or issues, proactive and well organized. The place is really clean and very well stocked with everything you need. Instructions are clear and simple. All in all this is a no frills, low stress, very comfortable and well located stay. Highly recommend!
