Craig was a generous and very gracious host. He was at work when we arrived, but he had an efficient process in place so that we could quickly and comfortably settle in. His studio was neat, clean, comfortable and spacious for two. The location is incredible - a block away from Union Square, easy access to all the train lines. Craig had also thoughtfully stocked up on toiletries and very nice bath and body products and simple groceries to start our week on a very welcoming note. It was a 5th floor walk-up which is fine - you are in NYC, after all. There are only 3, very minor downsides that were easily overlooked but might be taken into consideration. 1) The current bed has a rather too-soft, lumpy mattress that can be difficult for folks with back pain. 2) The area can be a bit loud on weekend nights (but is relatively peaceful on weeknights). Craig kindly provides earplugs. 3) The lighting in the apartment is a bit sparse so the place is dim at night. Other than those very minor detractions, the apt was fantastic and a really great stay in NYC. Craig especially is very thoughtful and responsive, a wonderful host who added a personal touch to our visit.
