Michael is an incredible host, very kind and responsive. He always attended my requests and questions very quickly and on time.
I list below from my experience Michael's apartment as what worked for me and what didn't.
On the +ve side:
- the apartment is very clean
-the location is great if you are staying there for a short time , close to museums, shopping and everything else
-the kitchen equipments are very clean and sufficient
-Michael is a great host and helpful.
On the -ve side or rather what didn't work for me as I stayed for 25 days
-the apartment is located on the 5th floor (almost 84 narrow steps), on my arrival Michael was very kind to carry my bags all the way up but on the day I was leaving as it was 4:30 am, I had a great difficulties carrying down two large suitcases by myself!
-some of the furnitures need renewing as they are worn-out and very old
-the street where the apartment is and all of midtown can get a bit rough and has become worse since the pandemic with lots of people heavily dependent on strong substances who are hovering around and sadly homeless.
-there are two restaurants which they have their fans in the courtyard at the back of the building, which make continues sounds. Often they forget to turn them off, if you are a light sleeper like myself and have to work next day, this can be a major issue.
Thank you Michael for your warm hospitality...
