This place is a gem; I'm not sure that the pictures do justice to the amount of light and space in the apartment. Brooks was a fantastic host, leaving the place in immaculate shape and being readily available for questions. The location is amazing, being halfway between Union Square and Washington Square, with easy access to the Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, and SoHo. There are top-notch restaurants within steps, and a grocery across the street. The roof garden (off the 5th floor) is an especially great touch, offering a respite from the bustle while providing fantastic views. Highly recommended, well worth the price.
