Pete's place was in an ideal location - three blocks from the subway in a safe, vibrant neighborhood. We ate at several wonderful local restaurants and the nearby markets made late-night snacks and at-home breakfast easy. The apartment was charming with a comfortable bed, full kitchen, and it was great to linger on the living room sofa over morning coffee planning out our days in Manhattan. (Great wifi connection.) With midtown only a short trip by subway, Pete's place made seeing NY a breeze. Although we didn't actually meet Pete, he was quick to respond via text and email and made getting in and out of the apartment easy despite our unusual flight schedule. As a bonus, his apartment is only blocks away from Captain Jean-Luc Picard's place! We look forward to meeting Pete the next time we stay in the NYC area.
