Mikala's place is adorable and so very New York. You are right next to public transport (but I probably would not walk alone in the area at night). Mikala was so easy to communicate with and so flexible and easy to reach. A couple cons: It was pretty smokey in the room but I bought some incense and that helped immensely. When I checked in, Mikala warned me I might hear her dogs next door but they barked almost all day every day I was there. I slept with the tv on or with ear plugs in. Besides the noise, this was an amazing apartment I would absolutely stay in again.
