Michaels place is really cozy and cute. It’s 3 floors up in the heart of the East Village. Walkable to most shopping areas in Soho. The subway stations are a few blocks away but we walked to most places- even to and over the Brooklyn Bridge and into Dumbo. The area where the apartment is situated is vibrant and busy - especially at the weekends. The streets are smaller than uptown and the locals are friendly. There is a great mix of bars and restraints right on his door step.
We only had one miss communication regarding check-in but Michael was reachable instantly over the phone to amend the situation quickly. He was a super host as he allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment way past noon as we had a late flight back home.
We would definitely stay again - we fell in love with the East Village with its artsy character and all its hustle and bustle!
