We loved to stay in Gabriels appartment. It was clean and we had everything we needed (even a hairdryer ;) and cookies).
It is perfect for a New York trip, where you want to discover the city! You only have to walk 2 blocks for the next Metro and in 6-7 blocks walking you would be in the central park!
We did even divide some days in two parts and went back to the appartment in the middle of the day! I think that is a great location.
We did not meet Gabriel in person but he would alway response really fast via message. We really had the feeling, we can contact him everytime.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
