You really won’t find a better deal for price, privacy and location. I didn’t actually meet Michael, but communication was easy and he was very accommodating when I booked a last-minute trip.
Michael’s house is around the corner to lots of bars/restaurants on Broadway, and also a short walk to the ferry and Thames Street. There’s a free trolley that runs in the summer, so we were perfectly fine getting around without a car.
The room itself is super private - like a little suite at the front of the house with it’s own entrance off the foyer. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the kitchenette is a great touch (most hotels don’t even offer refrigerators/microwaves these days!). Highly recommend this Airbnb!
