John is far and away the best host I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. He has created a beautiful home; stunning, comfortable and functional that was a pleasure to retreat to at the end of a busy day exploring. The doormen to the building are also exceptional - helpful and friendly.
When I first arrived John was away but his communication leading up to and on the day of my arrival made everything smooth and easy. He had even left a note explaining a few little housekeeping things. Whether he was around the apartment or not, he made himself easily available for any questions or concerns, including recommendations for things around the city (and seriously, take his advice!!)
John was wonderful to chat to and was always interested in what I had been up to and discovered.
The location of the apartment is amazing! 10-15 minutes walk from times square and a central public transport hub made it super easy to move around the city in all directions. Most surprisingly is the total lack of noise from the street - it's wonderfully quiet.
I can't recommend John and his apartment enough! I will definitely be back on my next visit.
