Michael's place is like "WOW" kind of clean. It's location, the West Village, is so full of styles and it's our favorite part of NYC. Michael as a host was very responsive, welcoming, and respectful of our privacy. His dog gunner was a sweetheart and extremely quite. We had a great time staying in Michael's place. The only problem was that it was booked so we couldn't extend our stay. :) Highly recommend.
