Awesome place, host, communication - A+++. James' place is perfect for a weekend or even a longish stay - a very well-equipped studio.
I love that everything is there just for you so you're not wading through the owner's stuff. TONS of closet and drawer space and literally sparkling clean. Very chic decor and in a great residential section that has lots of restaurants/bars but it's a quiet respite from hectic NYC.
