Peter was a fantastic host right from the start- great at communication and very open. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, in fact the apartment MADE our holiday. We travelled from London and have 2 boys under 6 and it was a superb base for us to explore NYC, whilst also providing a little home from home. It was spacious and catered for our every need- full of great kitchen equipment, toys, good wifi connection, books, lovely neighbours, an awesome person who gave us our keys (and went above and beyond when we had an airline issue) and really cool decor. The apartment is close to the East Village, several supermarkets and the subway. We'd definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to experience New York without feeling like a tourist. We simply cannot recommend this place enough.
