Xiren's flat was really great -- absolutely as advertised! Very charming and rustic apartment that became our oasis in the middle of busy Manhattan. The neighbourhood was great, really up and coming with tons of cool bars and restaurants -- and Xiren was great about sending us lists to places to try and things to do long before we arrived! Key pickup and dropoff was incredibly easy and convenient, and Xiren was available for any and all (even inane) questions! Was a great three day stay and would certainly return!
