Micheal is an excellent host. He met us and showed us a map and explained how to get around town using the subway. The subway was a short walk away. Coffee shop right around the corner is definitely recommended! He had some snacks and drinks for us as an extra touch. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and overall really great! It was definitely an authentic NYC experience. You get what you see in the pictures. It is very small but for us it was just what we needed. We spent most of our time out exploring so it was a great place to use as a crash pad. We did hear some loud music from the apartment next door but it was off before 10pm. I would definitely recommend this place!
