Like so many of the reviews I read when researching places to stay on my most recent NYC romp, this one is going to seem over the top. Sorry. But truth must be told: Matthew's perfectly appointed little studio apartment couldn't have been more accommodating or cozy. Startlingly, though we were in between Columbus Ave. and Amsterdam, it was absolutely quiet in our neighborhood - we slept with the windows open each night and it was glorious. It felt like home. There was plenty of room for my friend and myself - everything felt clean and cared for. Lots of personality in that little apartment. Matthew was, indeed, the consummate host - making everything easy for us. And his suggestions of restaurants in the area were spot-on. We'll be back to New York, and we'll be staying there.
