My mum stayed at Stephen and Carla's place when she came to visit me in New York and she was very happy with the accommodation. The apartment is really clean and well furnished. The location is just perfect, my mum was able to get around the city with ease and reach most places of interest in a very short time. The windows are on a side street so it's not loud at night, but if you want entertainment and nightlife, you just have to walk half a block. In general, I can highly recommend this place and Stephen was very flexible with respect to schedule and check out. Really a great host!
