I am a native New Yorker with an insider tip - John's apartment is in the best possible location for the best NYC has to offer - walk to the Hudson River and Meat Packing district in one direction and Union Square or SOHO in the other. Quick uber or jump on nearby subway to mid-town/theater district. Citi bikes available across the street for rental. Stylish, safe ( solo female traveler and I felt totally safe) and quiet apartment and building. Beautiful view of the Empire State Building from his living room windows. Welcoming and friendly host who was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions. I will book again and am telling all my friends about it .
