Let me add to the chorus of superb reviews for this home and for the wonderful, caring hosts Art and Ed. They have thought of everything to make one’s stay memorable. The spotless bedroom had cable TV mounted over one of the beds, blackout shades over the windows, and even a “white noise” machine to lull you to sleep. The bathroom is wall-to-wall black marble and included brand new toothbrushes and an array of nice colognes. Art made sure that coffee was set up for brewing each morning, coupled with juice, bread, bananas and yogurt. When I arrived the first evening, Art and I sat around the kitchen table with glasses wine and had a great discussion about our backgrounds and about my plans to explore New York when my wife arrived the next morning. I corresponded with Art prior to my visit in order to get suggestions on where the locals go for restaurants. We were not in NYC long enough to try out his long list of places, but we did have a marvelous dinner right downstairs at the Red Cat restaurant and also tried his suggestion for a discrete after-theater place virtually unknown to tourists. Since our plans included a Broadway play on a rainy night, Art and Ed let us borrow a pair of opera glasses and umbrellas to keep us dry. If you are avid walkers, the location is perfect for exploring both mid-town via the High Line, the Chelsea Market, and also lower Manhattan. We did an enjoyable walk all the way downtown to the 9-11 museum. You will also notice that you are surrounded by great little art galleries. We were amazed at the rich collection of Picassos virtually around the corner at the Pace Gallery. In summary, we experienced the perfect combination of interaction with our hosts and freedom to come and go. You will not find more gracious, friendly and helpful hosts as Art and Ed. We can’t wait to go back!
