Michelle's place is cozy & comfortable. The room is small but the ceilings are really high so it felt bigger. The view from the roof is spectacular! Michelle is a great host - friendly and accessible - and her cat is so sweet! We found everything we needed in the neighborhood - good coffee, restaurants, supermarket, bars...There is bus stop at the corner, the subway is a 5 min walk and Manhattan is only 2 stops away on the L train. We really liked the neighborhood as well as the proximity to Manhattan.
