A colleague and I stayed at this apartment for 3 weeks and it was an absolutely excellent stay. First, John is very kind and flexible about your arrival and needs. He's very friendly about any request you might come up with and up for a chat if you bump into him. He also respects your privacy and leaves you to your self unless you show him that you'd like to chat or have some occasional advice.

The apartment is very nice, clean and well stocked will everything you might need, from a lot of extra clean towels to garbage bags.

There's a built in heating system which is very easy to use, and can heat up the entire place in minutes. Very convenient on a cold day.

The apartment is placed in a very nice neighborhood, very close to a very colorful street around Columbus and Broadway. Chinatown and Little Italy is only a few minutes walk away, so whatever you need you can get it without walking too much.

I can definitely recommend the Italian "Restaurant Ideale" which is very close by. Café Grecco for a nice cup of coffee and The Saloon to hang out for a beer... but get there early, the crowd will fill up because of the frequent live music.

I will definitely go back to this place again!
