Mich has the qualities I expect from a host: she's cordial, she provides clear and precise information and she's quick to answer to any questions. Also, the apartment is exactly as it appears in the pictures. It's clean, fully equiped, small but perfect for two, and pretty quiet (aside from the air conditioner, which didn't bother us that much, and you can turn it off). The neighborhood is nice, more soothing than midtown. There's a supermarket really close, and many ethnic restaurants. Unless you're willing to walk a little while, you'll need to take bus and/or metro if you're moslty interested by the mainstream touristic area (Time Square, etc.). It's good though to spend the nights in a quieter district, away from the crowd and noises. In short, I would recommand this apartment.
