Me and my girlfriend spent an entire week at Michelle's place. She and her family made us feel like home from the very first minute. The flat is actually bigger than what you would assume from the pictures. Everything was clean. The next subway station is roughly 10 minutes by foot and takes you to Manhattan in another 30 minutes. The area is mostly calm and quiet at night, we never felt unsafe. It was a pleasure for us to stay at Michelle's and I highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a warm-hearted host family!
