Michael was a fantastic host. He even made sure to call us to double check if we knew how to get to his apartment on our arrival. His place was clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. The street he lives on is very central, easy walk to Times Square, one block from the subway, and very safe and quiet. If you have trouble with stairs he is on the fifth floor and there is no elevator. However, my friend and I had no trouble since we only walked the stairs once or twice a day. Would definitely recommend this place in a heartbeat.
