Mike's place was very quiet and comfortable for my son and me as we visited family and sights in New York. It was great to have two separate sleeping spaces and was about the same cost as what I was finding for a single room in someone's home. We appreciated the added bonus of having a washer/dryer available to us. The neighborhood was quiet, but within easy walking distance of so many wonderful places to try. We rode the subway all over the area and had a wonderful time viewing the lovely places and sights in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Mike was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely recommend the Brooklyn Botanical gardens in Prospect Park and Princess Pizza (half a block from the apartment) for a quick, delicious and economical local meal. Also the OS coffee shop had both delicious coffee and pastries. We were grateful for this wonderful place to stay and look forward to future visits in New York.
