Ryan’s place is full of character and a perfect location to base yourself in New York. The apartment is full of interesting things; books, art, records and DVDs and other knick knacks which make you feel at home. Amazingly well equipped kitchen (although we didn’t cook-too many restaurants to try) and cookbook collection. Super comfy bed and couch. A bit of street noise but double glazed windows so only an issue if you need windows open in summer. Area itself is perfect-full of character and many great bars and cafes nearby. Ryan is a great host- super friendly and quick to respond and even allowed us to drop off bags after our very early arrival. Would happily stay here again!
