We had a good time at Michelle's place. It is good value for money, especially for new york city! We could easily walk to several subway stations in a short 10 min walk or, even closer, to a bus. We also really appreciated the space in the room and separate sleeping areas with 2 large comfortable beds : perfect for my teenage daughter and I to have our own space to rest after a day of sightseeing! There were several good cafes nearby (we recommend Cocoa Grinders and Namas Tea garden just up the street)
