This was a very first trip to NYC so we were basing this venue off of the previous wonderful reviews. David is a remarkable host. He answered all of our questions and his place was so very comfortable. We were able to cook and do laundry, and there is a full grocery store within the block. We did walk to the subway a few times. (Not really something I would do with children, but as to adults, it was okay.) Overall, this place was perfect & clean and enhanced our experience with NYC!
