Great apartment full of character, surrounded by some great spots if you're up to wing it and wonder around the area and city. If not then Alex's got more than enough recommendations already set up to help you out if you're one to plan things out. Oh yeah and like it says, and everyone's been referring to, there's a pretty cool rooftop (chill spot/view).
Now we didn't have the time to see its glory at night due to our short and busy weekend stay but you should check it out. Alex was a great host during our stay. We booked the room for the weekend and it just felt like any other weekend with a chill and insightful roommate.
If it works with your reasoning for the trip, I'd definitely recommend making this your stay the next time you're looking to visit New York.
