Michael's place is very comfortable and well appointed and looks as nice as it does in the listing. He is a gracious host and very helpful and responsive. Even though this a a private room rental with shared bathroom, we also had open access to the large, stylish den and the very well-equipped kitchen and Michael made us feel at home. The bed was comfy and the bedroom was spacious as advertised. It's s great location for staying in lower Manhattan. The location is great for access to all of the LES and East Village, plus not too far from many other lower Manhattan sights and the bridges. Also, spending time with Churro was an extra bonus. The only downside was that the AC wasn't working in the bedroom when we stayed. But, the weather was cool enough that we accommodated by opening the windows in the evening. We enjoyed our stay at Michael's place and gladly recommend it to others.
