I found David's apartment to be exactly as described and pictured here. The apartment is in a great prewar building in the East Village and affords both east and west views. The 24-hour doorman meant I didn't have to arrive at a specific time; David simply left the key with him. David welcomed me and made staying at his place effortless. The bed and room were comfortable and the bathroom was immediately adjacent to my bedroom. 3 subway stations within 4 blocks meant I could get to any point in the city with just a 5-7 minute walk. Highly recommended!
