I would definitely recommend Corey's place as a great apartment for a social weekend visit - or longer - for a single or a couple. We stayed there in December 2011 and had a great time.

It's in a great location - lots of bars and restaurants right there. Located ~15 minute walk from a couple of different subway lines, so very convenient.

Everything in the apartment was comfortable and clean. We didn't cook , but it looked like you definitely could have as long as you're fine with a small amount of counter space. The heat and hot water worked well and the windows opened for fresh air - and there was lots of natural light in the apartment, which is not a feature of all NYC places!

Corey was a great host - he left us a nice guidebook and note about the apartment. It was very easy to arrange key pick up and drop off with him as well.

All in all, a great place to use while enjoying NYC.
