We were cycling around Manhattan and Brookln for a couple of days. Mike's flat is perfectly located for that purpose. Flat is reasonably quiet for NY. You do not hear neighbors, you do hear train. Interestingly, the sound was easy to get uses to. No street noise, which was nice. Kitchen is rather basic, but workable. Mike is easily reached and very helpful. Check-in is easy. Decent place to stay. A few minor issues that Mike was very kind about resolving. That is not always the case with hosts. Definitely recommend staying here. I would return.
