We booked Michaels apartment during the NYC Lockdown after all our flights home got cancelled. The location itself is amazing, and I'd imagine it's a really great area when everything's open. As it was, everything other than the local deli and supermarket were closed and so we basically never left the apartment - but I can't think of a place I'd rather have been "stuck at home" in. The apartment is cozy, really comfortable and quiet and Michael's got a great sense of style. The TV (set up with Netflix and Prime) and speakers (if you've got a newer iPhone don't forget your adapter) were a welcome addition, and the Kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves every day. All in all, I loved the apartment and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the East Village.
