Mike is a very gracious host who responded instantly to the few questions we had. My daughter and I felt comfortable in his apartment and in the neighborhood. We enjoyed meeting his new puppy AJ. Lots of restaurant variety in Hell's Kitchen and it's an easy walk to Times Square or the subway. The bedroom is small but we had use of the living room and a bathroom just for us, though we were out running around the city most of the time. Mike was very kind in letting us stash our luggage in his place after checkout. Thanks Mike for the hospitality!
