Mich’s place is the perfect choice for private, comfortable and convenient accommodation when in New York at a much more manageable cost than the extortionate hotel prices. There were multiple subway stations within easy walking distance of the apartment, which made getting to popular tourist attractions really simple. The apartment had everything we needed to happily self-cater and this saved us a lot of money that would have otherwise been spent on eating out. Mich was really friendly and helpful, even providing us with some tips for our stay. Although Mich wasn’t around during our stay, check-in and check-out were seamless as she provided us with comprehensive instructions that were easy to follow. It may be worth messaging Mich before you book as it turned out that the price for our stay was more expensive than we first paid for through Air Bnb (apparently this can often happen, particularly when booking accommodation around Christmas time). Mich was understanding and compromised with us in this situation, she also gave us multiple options for paying the extra of cancelling if we wished, which was great. I would really recommend Mich’s place to anyone looking for affordable accommodation in New York that is comfortable, cosy safe and private and means you can be fully self-sufficient. It’s far enough away from Times Square etc to feel like you are experiencing a real taste of New York life (rather than a totally touristy holiday), but close enough to make getting around easy and visiting all the popular attractions achievable. I would definitely stay at Mich’s place again myself and recommend it to friends and family.
