I stayed at Kevin's place for 8 days. It was perfect. Having stayed in a hotel near Times Square for the first two days (tourist central) getting that break in the lower east side and being a couple of stops on the subway away from everything made it so easy to travel through NYC, you really felt like you stayed there. His apartment was very clean, efficiently set up and comfortable enough to have 4 people stay. Two in the bedroom and two on the couch bed. Although during my stay there was only two of us, it made it that more spacious. Kevin was quick to respond to all my enquiries for anything I needed, from needing a printer (which he had) to the wifi (letter with all info during my stay was posted on the fridge). With ease, my friend and I travelled to Central Park, Times Square, Coney Island, little Italy, Chinatown and all over New York from Kevin's apartment and I would definitely recommend staying there. If you're looking for a cosy apartment, out of the touristy areas then Kevin's apartment is perfect for that. It even has one of those fire escapes from the movies that I sat out on at any opportunity!! Appreciate everything Kevin and will definitely be checking if your apartment is available next time I'm in New York!
