Jose was a great host who took the hosrinf "further" then simply handing over the keys; we had a lot of fun. The appartment is great, especially in winter as it's so cozy and has a great indoor climate. The Manhatten skyline view in the distance from the bedroom window is very nice. There is a variety of restaurants close by. Supermarkets around are mostly the international ones as opposed to the regular american nation wide chains. Distance to subways lines (m/r line 1 min., 7 line 3 min.) is great.
