Valentin was very responsive to our emails and questions. He met with our son who checked us into the apartment right at noon, as soon as he arrived into town.
It has 2 beds and a couch that pulls out for another 2 people to sleep on. We appreciated his flexibility allowing us to have our whole family of 5 there ( with no extra fees)
It is ideally situated in a very trendy neighbourhood. Very close the train either the M/J line or if you walk over to Bedford another train that will take you into the business district. The restaurants and shopping along Bedford are excellent. This is a very up and coming area and I would definitely stay here again.
We took our car and were able to park in the area, although you have to move it frequently, or you can also park in a 24 hour parking lot nearby. There is a great market nearby, Urban Market to shop at that has tons of excellent food products.
It is situated right beside Peter Luger, famous steak house, so if you are taking a cab this is a great landmark to tell them how to get you home.
Also there is a citi bike rack nearby so you can get a bike for 24 hours and cycle your way into Manhattan over the bridge. Great thing to do but, if you want bring a helmet as they do not have helmets.
I would recommend this location and place to anyone visiting New York.
