Pat's a very reliable and accommodating host. He was super nice, and accepted my last minute booking. I didn't get a chance to meet him however. The apartment is in a great and convenient location, close to times square, but still away from the noise. The house is quaint, clean and comfortable. I didn't mind the flight of stairs to the 5th floor, thought it was a good exercise. I will definitely recommend this listing and go back again the next time.
