Michael has carefully thought through the needs of travelers who arrive both tired and hungry. While there's no obligation for any airbnb host to provide snacks to guests, and I don't expect them, the fact that Michael keeps his fridge stocked with fresh fruit and cold bottled water was a much-appreciated welcoming gesture; particularly during an early February cold snap.
The cool thing about Michael's studio is that he has cleverly installed a sleeping situation that can reasonably accommodate 2 adults and 2 children almost as easily as one person traveling solo (my situation).
I'm a former New Yorker but had never before familiarized myself with Michael's neighborhood and really enjoyed the new experience. This location met two needs key to my happiness and budget--my requisite large latte heading out in the morning and groceries available for purchase if I didn't return until late evening.
Another plus is the very convenient bus and subway service to this location from all over Manhattan and the other boroughs. I never waited for any transportation longer than 10 minutes. The M60 bus service takes you directly from any LGA terminal to drop-off on a corner just a 3 short blocks' walk from Michael's address. I recommend that budget travelers who are comfortable with mass transit take advantage of the 7-Day unlimited use Metro pass, You can buy it from a kiosk at LGA when you arrive. It was my best friend!
