Larry was an outstanding host. He was very flexible with arrival time, I just kept him updated and was friendly upon arrival! He was extremely accommodating when we couldn't quite figure out how to get into the door after we went out for groceries the first afternoon - he had to come back his place and help us out (all with a smile on his face). The apartment is just as advertised, if you've seen the pictures it will be like you've already been there. The location is fantastic for access to Central Park and was close enough to the NYC marathon finish which we were there for. There is a Whole Foods close by and the subway is within easy walking distance. We enjoyed our stay!
