Me and my friend stayed one week at Michael's apartment. First of all we had an amazing time at his place. Michael is really open minded and easy going. At our arrival he showed us the whole apartment, how the stove works, allowed us to use his coffee and explained everything we needed to know even though he was in a hurry.
The place is really well located in the heart of Chelsea nearby the highline. And all big tourist attractions are in walking distance.
The flat itself is quite simple and small. But with its New York charm it gives you a feeling you won't find in a hotel. Kitchen and bathroom are both small but we really didn't need more. The room we stayed in is the childrens' room of Michael kids. You should expect painted walls, stuffed animals and other toys. For us this was no problem at all especially because the bunk beds are big enough for normal-sized adults! ;) There is no door for this room but a corridor and a thick curtain provide enough privacy. Also Michael is thoughtful and tries to be quiet if you want to sleep.
After all we could say that Michael's was the perfect place we could find for such price. Maybe however fussy and super neat people should spend more money for a hotel.
Thanks! :)
