Mike's apartment was the prefect location for visiting NYC. It was extremely easy to catch taxicabs and major subway lines are a short distance away. The neighborhood was fantastic and much quieter than had we stayed closer to midtown. Since we were traveling with our dog, Java, it was wonderful to have a park just a few steps from the apartment, not to mention being able to take longer walks in Central Park. The apartment was very spacious which is very unusual for New York City. The kitchen was large enough that you can actually cook a meal in it and easily set 4 people. Mike was a wonderful host and made our stay very comfortable and check in with us to make sure things were going fine. He responded to our messages/calls very quickly. We highly recommend Mike's apartment!
