We probably contacted Michael a dozen times asking this and that. For every question we had, Michael had a fast and friendly answer. It was as if he had taken a personal role for making sure we had the best time ever. And we did.
A large part of the charm of this adventure was Michael's home. A beautiful living room, dining room and large kitchen that became the gathering place for my sister and her two grandkids and me. There was a large bedroom for each of the boys and another large one for us. The boys enjoyed their privacy and so did we. I loved that the apartment was all things NY — the park across the street, the deli down the block, the neighbors greeting each other out front. And it was actually quiet at night! Totally unexpected!
This was the boys first NY experience. Michael, in large part, made it a memorable one.
There are thousands of ways to experience New York. I would suggest if you want a real, authentic one, book this place. And don't forget to go to the Bronx Zoo or grab a game at Yankee Stadium - both are a quick subway ride away.
