Wow! We just got back from a week staying at Eric’s place in New York. Having stayed previously in a variety of Manhattan hotels we loved the space and laid back nature of the apartment. It’s a great base (and location) to explore New York with a few subway stations just a short walk away. We visited in a very hot week in New York (some days were 32 degrees) but the apartment was an oasis of calm and was quiet and cool after long days of exploring, plus it feels very safe and secure. The space is very cool and you get a real experience of NY loft type living. Great shopping and dining in and around East Village and SoHo. The space is nicely lived in and unfussy..if you want 1000 thread count sheets and room service, this is not for you. But if you want a real experience of living in a New York loft-type home, it’s perfect.
