I am so grateful to have been able to stay at this location. I couldn't have asked for a more better experience. It was such a great way to spend my 22nd birthday. I've visited NYC before and I've done the touristy thing to do which is to stay in Times Square, but to be able to stay in one of the neighborhoods and get a different feel for the city is a completely different experience. This listing was in a prime location of the city. I actually went back home & shared with friends what I wonderful time I had and some friends that are going to NYC next month are trying to stay at the same location. I can't brag enough about this place. It was clean, it was spacious and the balcony just put the cherry on top. Although I didn't get a chance to meet Johnathan in person he was in constant contact with me to make sure that me and my boyfriend were ok and that everything was going smoothly. His roommate Arno was a spectacular guest. He treated us like family. He made sure we were comfortable and even when we were relaxing around the apartment he conversed with us and made an effort to get to know us. It was also a pleasure to be able to meet his family and his friend who was visiting from out of town. They were, to say the least, really cool, and it made our trip so much more memorable! I go to NYC multiple times a year and I plan on visiting Again soon and hopefully I'll get the chance to stay there again!
