We visited New York with my son for a week. Michael was a great host and very helpful to us. We really enjoyed staying at his place. He was also very flexible with checking in and out.
The room was spacious, nice and clean with air-condition and a heater.
The area is nice and safe with lot of delis, small shops and restaurants at hand. Connections to public transport are good, about 5min walk to 145th street subway station (lines 1,2,3).
All and all a great place to explore New York from. I can highly recommend!
