Dan was a lovely host and welcomed us with a genuine smile. He had information about the local eateries, grocery stores and transport. The apartment was just as it was represented and, although well over a century old, it is in good order and everything works.
And what a position! Restaurants are as close as the opposite corner. Within a couple of blocks, you'll find ten other restaurants. Third Avenue buses are a block away. Park Avenue buses were nearly as close in the other direction. Union Square, with it's markets and colourful characters (and shopping) is a block north.
Next time I'm in New York, I hope I can stay here again.
