I stayed at Daniel's apartment for a full three months from May to July 2014 and it was simply an awesome stay. I chose his apartment because of the description, pictures, location and the positive feedback Daniel received from previous tenants. It was all as expected and described. You can take every single feedback as given. The place is just as pictured in a lovely neighbourhood close to anything you can image in a few minutes walk. I was working midtown at 6th Avenue and could walk there every day in about 15 minutes. Subways are close by, yet I always walked around midtown or to Central Park to enjoy the city.

There are plenty of comments on short term rents so I will just give a few words on long term stays, as I was curious myself if it works out. To sum it up: it was perfect! Even though I never met Daniel in person, he was very responsive to every single question I had and recommended several needful things for long term stays like dry cleaners, barbers, etc. The laundry room in the basement is spacious and you will always find an empty washing machine and dryer. Daniel provides you with a rechargeable card to use both of these. Besides the wonderful Deli (Bread & Butter) on the opposite side of the street there is a big 24/7 supermarket around the corner on 2nd Ave as well as a Whole Foods on 57th Street within about a 10minutes walk. The kitchen has anything you need, although I didn't use it as there is plenty to eat outside for a reasonable price. There was more than enough closet space for everything I brought and bought throughout my stay.

As for rentals of over 3 weeks, Daniel asks you to have the apartment cleaned every 2-3 weeks, which is fine as you will have a nicely clean apartment with fresh linens and towels after the cleaning lady is done. The cleaning takes about 1-2 hours and you can even stay in the apartment if you wish to. The lady is very nice and you can always contact her to schedule the cleaning accordings to your needs.

I had a wonderful time at Daniel's place and NYC with a great host and if I make it back to New York in the future I will always try to rent this apartment again.
