I and my mother stayed at Ryan's place for 5 days and it was an incredibly positive experience! The apartment is huge - very light and spacious, meticulously designed and made with a good taste overall. We had everything one might need for a comfortable stay and feel-like-home: a fully equipped kitchen, tables, a sofa, a comfy bed, a closet, fast wifi, AC, clean and neat bathroom, etc. The building is perfectly located - in a close proximity to transportation (subway and cabs) and to a great bunch of restaurants and nice breakfast/coffee places. Plus the neighborhood is splendid! We were never bothered by any noise from the neighbors nor from the street at night hours. We didn't meet Ryan himself - yet he was in touch via email all the time and his friend Katie (a very friendly and nice person) accurately checked-us in and out, and was also in touch via phone and email. Ryan's "welcome" email was very helpful since it gave all necessary tips and instructions about the apartment and neighborhood (how to get there from the airport, where to eat, etc), so that we didn't have contact Ryan during our stay and got by just fine! I will definitely recommend Ryan's place to my friends coming from abroad. Thank you, Ryan!!
